5-5 Installing Memory

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.

Installing DIMMs

1.Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with slots DIMM1A. Pay attention to the notch along the bottom of the module to pre- vent inserting the DIMM module incorrectly. See Figure 5-5.

2.Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the slot. Repeat fstep 1 to install to DIMM1B if needed.

Memory Support

The X9SCA supports up to 32GB of ECC unbuffered (UDIMM) DDR3-1333/1066 memory in four memory slots. Populating these slots with a pair of memory mod- ules of the same type and same size will result in interleaved memory, which will improve memory performance. Please refer to the table below:.
