Chapter 2. Installing Options
11
install matched pairs of memory kits. The set in slots 1 and 4 do not need to be the
same size as the set in slots 2 and 3.
Notes:
1.
Your server comes with two dual inline memory modules (DIMM) installed in
DIMM slots 1 and 4. Install additional DIMMs as a matched pair in DIMM slots 2
and 3 as instructed in the documentation that comes with your option.
2.
Your xSeries 232 server supports 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1 GB DIMMs.
You must install the DIMMs in pairs of the same size. Place pair 1 in slots 1 and 4
and pair 2 in slots 2 and 3. Refer to the ServerProven™ list on the World Wide
Web at http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat for information about memory modules for
use with your server.
3.
Installing or removing DIMMs changes the configuration information in the server.
Therefore, after installing or removing a DIMM, you must save the new
configuration information in 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.
