Installing DIMMs

When installing dual inline memory modules (DIMMs), consider the following information and guidelines:

Your server supports 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1 GB DIMMs, for a maximum of 4 GB of system memory.

Depending on the server configuration, the installation will reduce the amount of usable memory. A certain amount of memory must be reserved for system resources. The BIOS displays the total amount of installed memory and the amount of configured memory.

Your server comes with one 512 MB DIMM installed in DIMM connector 1. If your system has one DIMM installed, when you install an additional DIMM, you must install it in DIMM connector 3, and it must be the same size, speed, type, and technology as the DIMM installed in DIMM connector 1. You can mix compatible DIMMs from various manufacturers.

If you install a second pair of DIMMs in DIMM connectors 2 and 4, they do not have to be the same size, speed, type and technology as the DIMMs installed in DIMM connectors 1 and 3. However, the size, speed, type and technology of the DIMMs you install in connectors 2 and 4 must match each other.

Install only 2.5 V, 184-pin, double-data-rate (DDR), PC2700 or PC3200, unbuffered synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM)
