Memory Overview

NOTE: Your computer supports ECC and registered memory.

•Memory modules should be installed in pairs of matched size, speed, and rank (1R is single rank and 2R is dual rank). See the label on the memory module to determine its size, speed rank, and organization. Be sure that your memory module labels match.

Example: 256MB 1Rx8 PC2-3200R-333-10:

•Size = 256 MB

•Speed = 3200

•Rank = 1R

•Organization = x8

256MB 2R XX XXX
