Memory Upgrade Kits

Your system is upgradable to 512 MB by installing com- binations of 16-, 32-, and 128-MB DIMMs in the DIMM sockets. The DIMMs should be rated at 60 nanoseconds (ns) or faster.

Memory upgrade kits can be purchased from Dell as needed.

DIMM Installation Guidelines

Starting with the socket nearest the system board’s PCI expansion-card connectors and working toward the cen- ter of the system board, the sockets are labeled “DIMM_A” through “DIMM_D” (Figure 7-5).

When installing DIMMs in sockets, follow these guidelines:

•Install a DIMM in socket DIMM_A before socket DIMM_B, socket DIMM_B before socket DIMM_C, and so on.

•If you install different sizes of DIMMs, start with the largest (highest capacity) DIMM in socket DIMM_A and work toward DIMM_D with the smaller DIMMs.

Table 7-1 illustrates these guidelines by listing sample memory configurations.

NOTE: The maximum memory supported in Power- Edge 2100 systems is 512 MB.
