To install your DIMMs, line your module up so that the pins fit into the slot. There is
only one way that your DIMM can fit properly. Make sure that the short row of pins is
lined up with the short gap in the DIMM slot. Figure 2-3 to the previous page shows how
to sit the DIMM into its slot. To insert the DIMM, push down vertically on the module
with even force, as shown in the photo. Do not shove one end in first; doing so will bend
the DIMM pins.
To lock the DIMM into place, push the plastic clips on either end of the slot onto the
notches at the ends of the DIMM (see Figure 2-4 below). In some cases, pushing the
memory module into the DIMM slot will move the plastic clips inward, automatically
locking the module into place. To remove your DIMM, simply pull the clips back, and
pull up on the module.
Place the DIMMs in an antistatic bag as soon as you remove them to avoid
static damage.
The Thunder 2500 uses a 64-bit data path from memory to CPU and can accommodate up
to 8 GB of SDRAM. The 168-pin DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Modules) must be of the
3.3V,
buffered
variety. The position of the notch in the SDRAM key position will tell
you whether or not a DIMM is buffered (see the Figure 2-5 on the following page). All
installed memory will be automatically detected, so there is no need to set any jumpers.
ATTENTION! ONLY REGISTERED DIMMs MAY BE USED ON
