Installing memory and hardware
Installing memory
The system board supports up to 2 GB of RAM in ECC SDRAM DIMMs.
The system board is configured with 4 DIMM banks. You can fill Bank 0,
Bank 1, Bank 2, or Bank 3 or a combination of banks with DIMMs. No
jumper settings are required for the memory size or type because this
information is automatically detected by the BIOS.
Refer to the section “DIMM configurations” on page 114 for valid memory
configurations. You may select any combination that provides the total
RAM required by your system and applications.
1.
Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord.
2.
Open the case (“Closing the system” on page 8), observing the static
electricity precautions in “Static electricity precautions” on page 2.
3.
Pull open the socket clamps on each side of the DIMM socket (see
Figure 16).

4.
Align the two notches in the DIMM with the two notches in the
DIMM socket (see Figure 17) and insert the DIMM into the socket.
To Install DIMMs
Important!
In order to reach 2 GB of
RAM, you must install 512
MB DIMMs. At the time this
manual was published, 512
MB DIMMs were not readily
available. These DIMMs had
not been tested with this
system at this time. This
manual assumes that the
512 MB DIMMs will conform
to published standards and
that no significant problems
will be discovered in testing.
