Chapter 2: Installation
2-4 Memory Installation
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 the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with
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 incor- rectly.
3.Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the slot. Repeat for all modules.
