Expanding memory

Additional memory can be installed in your server. Memory for your server is provided in packages called Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs). Appendix B, “Technical Information,” describes how much additional memory can be installed in the server.

Adding dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) DIMMs increases your server’s memory. The DRAM DIMMs must be the correct type for your server, and can be installed one at a time. For the best performance, however, the DRAM DIMMs should be installed in pairs of the same size into paired slots in your server.

You can also improve your server’s performance by upgrading the Level 2 (L2) cache with a higher-capacity cache DIMM. (The L2 cache stores the most frequently used portions of memory in high-speed RAM.)

The memory used to display images on the screen (called video RAM, or VRAM) can also be expanded by installing DIMMs. VRAM DIMMs must be installed in pairs.

It is very important that the DIMMs be correctly installed in your Workgroup Server 8550. Incorrect installation can result in errors, unpredictable results, and damage to your equipment and data.

WARNING To avoid damage to your server, Apple recommends that only an Apple-certified technician install additional DIMMs. Consult the service and support information that came with your server for instructions on how to contact an Apple-authorized service provider or Apple for service. If you attempt to install additional DIMMs yourself, any damage you may cause to your equipment will not be covered by the limited warranty on your server. See an Apple-authorized dealer or service provider for additional information about this or any other warranty question.
