The 16 dual in-line memory module (DIMM) sockets on the memory board (see
Figure8-5) can accommodate 256 megabytes (MB) to 8 gigabytes (GB) of 3.3-V regis-
tered DIMMs.
You can upgrade system memory to 8 GB by installing sixteen 512-MB DIMMs. You
can purchase 64-, 128- 256-, and 512-MB registered DIMMs from Dell.
NOTE: The DIMMs must be PC133-compliant.
The 16 DIMM sockets are arranged in four banks with four interleaved sockets per
bank. When you install DIMMs, follow these guidelines:
Install DIMMs in sets of four, beginning with BANK 1, then BANK 2, and so on.
Do not mix sizes of DIMMs within a given bank.
You can install banks with different capacities of DIMMs in each bank. For exam-
ple, you can install four 128-MB DIMMs in BANK 1 and four 64-MB DIMMs in
BANK 2.
If you install different sizes of DIMMs, install them in order of descending capac-
ity, beginning with the highest-capacity DIMMs in BANK 1.
