7-90 Dell PowerEdge 2100/180 and 2100/200 Systems User’s Guide
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.
