Upgrading the system memory

This section includes instructions for removing and installing a DIMM (dual in-line memory module).

Altos G5350 has eight DIMM slots. Each CPU controls four DIMM slots. The DIMM slots support dual channel DDR -33 and DDR-400 registered ECC memory modules.

Important: When you are using a single-processor server, you can install either a single DIMM into the DIMM 2 slot or a pair of identical modules into the DIMM 1 and 2 or DIMM 3 and 4 slots.

The DIMM 5 to DIMM 8 slots are enabled when a second CPU is installed on the mainboard. For instructions on how to install an additional CPU, see “To install the CPU:” on page 57.

When you are using a dual-processor server, you can employ a single DIMM configuration by installing a module in the DIMM 2 or DIMM 6 slots.
