Installing and Removing Memory
The MFS2600KI compute module has 14 DIMM blanks installed and only DIMM slots A1 and E1
are empty. Take out the DIMM blanks only when real DIMM will be installed into that DIMM slot.
The memory slots of each DDR3 channel from the Intel
®
Xeon
®
Processor E5-2600 Series are
populated in a farthest-first fashion. Memory sizing and configuration is supported only for
qualified DIMMs approved by Intel
®
. For a list of supported memory, see the
Tested Memory List
http://www.intel.com/support/category/server/mfs2600ki/cmptbl
The minimum memory population possible is one DIMM in slot A1. If both processor sockets are
populated, the next upgrade from the Single Channel mode is installing DIMM E1. If only one
processor socket is populated, the next upgrade from the Single Channel mode is installing DIMM
B1 to allow channel interleaving.
Removing DIMM Blank
1.
Locate the DIMM sockets. Gently spread the retaining clips at each end of the socket. The
DIMM blank lifts from the socket.
