Cautions for Installing a Memory Module
This server supports up to 8GB of memory. However, the maximum installable size varies depending on
the OS. Furthermore, since the server uses part of the memory as PCI resources, the maximum available
size is limited.
The following shows the maximum installable size and the maximum available size.
*1: 1GB of memory is used as PCI resources.
*2: Windows 2000 Advanced Server support up to 8GB of memory.
*3: Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition support up to 4GB of memory.
●
Cautions Applicable When the OS is Windows Server 2003, Enterprise
Edition or Windows 2000 Advanced Server
When installing 4GB or more of memory in a server operating with Windows 2000 Advanced Server or
Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition, the /PAE option in the "Boot.ini" file must be described. For
the procedure for editing the "Boot.ini" file, refer to the manual supplied with the OS.
The "Boot.ini" file is an important file for the system. If the file is edited improperly, the system may not
start up. Edit it carefully.

LAN Cable
Be sure to connect the LAN cable when the server is not connected to the Internet.
Connecting to the Internet during setup can cause security problems. Do not connect to the Internet
until the setup completes.
If the OS is installed or applications are automatically installed without connecting the LAN cable to the
LAN card, an error may be recorded in the event viewer after setup completes.
