IBM xSeries 200: Installation Guide
Installing memory modules
Your server comes with a dual in-line memory module (DIMM) installed on the
system board in DIMM connector 1.
Memory considerations:
•
When installing additional memory modules, install the second memory
module in DIMM connector 2, and the third in DIMM connector 3. (See the
illustration in this section for memory connector locations.)
•
Your xSeries 200 server supports 64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB, and 512 MB DIMMs.
Your server supports a minimum of 64 MB and a maximum of 1.5 GB of system
memory. See the ServerProven
™
list at http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat for a
list of memory modules for use with your server.
•
Installing or removing DIMMs changes the configuration information in the
server. Therefore, after installing or removing a DIMM, you must change and
save the new configuration information by using the Configuration/Setup
Utility program. When you restart the server, the system displays a message
indicating that the memory configuration has changed. Start the
Configuration/Setup Utility program and select Save Settings. Refer to the
User’s Reference on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD for more information.

The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
Complete the following steps to install a DIMM.
Attention:
When you handle ESD-sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid
damage from static electricity. For details on handling these devices, see “Handling
static-sensitive devices” on page x.
