2-3 Installing DIMMs

Note: Check the Supermicro web site for recommended memory modules:

CAUTION

Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM

modules to prevent any possible damage. Also note that the memory is interleaved to improve performance (see step 1).

DIMM Installation

1.Insert either 4 or 8 identical DIMMs (-Memory of the same size and type) into the memory slots, starting with DIMM1(J16), DIMM2(J13), DIMM3(J11) & DIMM4(J9). (DIMM1-DIMM4 are the DIMM sockets colored in blue.) If four more DIMMs are used, insert DIMM5(J15), DIMM6(J14),

DIMM7(J12) and DIMM8(J10) into the slots. (DIMM5-DIMM8 are the DIMM sockets colored in black.) The memory scheme is interleaved, and you must install four modules at a time, beginning with DIMM1, DIMM2, DIMM3, DIMM4 (blue slots).

2.Insert each DIMM module vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the notch along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the DIMM module incorrectly.

3.Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the slot. Repeat for all modules (see step 1 above).

Memory Support

The i2DMR-8G2/i2DMR-iG2 supports up to 16 GB of buffered, Reg. ECC DDR-200 (utilizing DDR 266 memory operating at DDR 200). All motherboards were designed to support 2 GB modules in each slot.

Figure 2-2. Installing and Removing DIMMs
