DIMM connectors 1 and 3. However, the size, speed, type, and technology of the DIMMs that you install in DIMM connectors 2 and 4 must match each other.

vInstall only double-data-rate II (DDR II), PC2-5300, unbuffered synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) with error correcting code (ECC) DIMMs. These DIMMs must be compatible with the latest PC2-5300 SDRAM unbuffered DIMM specification.

vIf you install a pair of 2 GB DIMMs and a pair of other-size DIMMs, the 2 GB DIMMs must be installed as the first pair (in DIMM connectors 1 and 3).

vWhen you restart the server after you add or remove a DIMM, a message is displayed indicating that the memory configuration has changed.

To install a DIMM, complete the following steps:

1.Read the safety information that begins on page v and “Installation guidelines” on page 7.

2.Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cord and all external cables. Remove the cover.

Attention: To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the DIMM connectors, open, and close the clips gently.

3.Open the retaining clip on each end of the DIMM connector.

4.Touch the static-protective package that contains the DIMM to any unpainted metal surface on the outside of the server. Then, remove the DIMM from the package.

5.Turn the DIMM so that the keys align correctly with the slot.

6.Insert the DIMM into the connector by aligning the edges of the DIMM with the slots at each end of the DIMM connector. Firmly press the DIMM straight down into the connector by applying pressure on both ends of the DIMM simultaneously. The retaining clips snap into the locked position when the DIMM is firmly seated in the connector. If there is a gap between the DIMM and the retaining clips, the DIMM has not been correctly inserted; open the retaining clips, remove the DIMM, and then reinsert it.

If you have other devices to install, do so now. Otherwise, go to “Completing the installation” on page 18.

4364, 4365 specifications

The IBM 4365 and 4364 are significant models in IBM’s lineup of mainframe computers, designed primarily for large organizations requiring robust processing capabilities. These models emerged during the late 1980s and early 1990s, serving to enhance the performance and versatility of business computing environments.

The IBM 4365, launched in 1985, is known for its sophisticated architecture and large processing power, capable of managing substantial transaction volumes. It features the advanced Multiple Virtual Storage (MVS) operating system, which allows for efficient processing and management of numerous tasks simultaneously. The MVS system contributes to high reliability and availability, factors paramount for businesses that rely on uninterrupted service.

One of the standout characteristics of the IBM 4365 is its ability to scale. Users could configure the system with multiple processors, allowing it to handle increasing workloads effectively. This scalability is made possible through its use of IBM's proprietary technology, which optimizes resource allocation to improve efficiency. The system could support an impressive number of users, making it ideal for large enterprises.

In contrast, the IBM 4364, released slightly later, is a more modest version aimed at smaller organizations but still renowned for its reliable performance. It too operates the MVS operating system, but its configurations are tailored for less intensive processing needs. It is designed with cost-effectiveness in mind, making it suitable for businesses that require robust computing without the extensive capabilities of larger systems.

Both models benefit from IBM's robust security features, ensuring data protection and compliance with industry standards. Additionally, they offer significant storage options, utilizing IBM's innovative storage technologies to retain vast amounts of data efficiently.

Among the key technologies that defined these mainframes were the use of advanced input/output capabilities and compatibility with a broad range of peripheral devices. This integration allowed organizations to enhance productivity while maintaining seamless operations across various applications.

Overall, the IBM 4365 and 4364 exemplify the evolution of mainframe technology during their era, offering remarkable processing power, superior reliability, and scalability while paving the way for future innovations in enterprise computing. Their legacy remains influential in shaping the landscape of business technology today, as organizations continue to rely on mainframe processing for critical operations.
