Upgrading the system memory

Acer Altos R520 server supports eight DDR2 fully buffered DIMM slots with four FBDIMM memory channels. Each channel can support up to 2 dual ranked DDR2 FBDIMMs. The memory channels are organized in to two branches for support of mirrored memory configuration. Up to 8 FBDIMMs or a maximum memory size of 32 GB physical memory in standard non-mirrored mode and 16 GB physical memory in a mirrored configuration are supported by the server.

Channel B - DIMMB1 and DIMMB2

Branch 1

Channel C - DIMMC1 and DIMMC2
