*2-GB 800 MHz and 4-GB 800 MHz memory modules will be supported when available 800-MHz memory modules are limited to a maximum of four modules per processor. If more than four modules are installed per processor, the system will downclock them to 667 MHz.

Installing Memory Modules

CAUTION: Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system cover and access any of the components inside the system. See your Product Information Guide for complete information about safety precautions, working inside the computer, and protecting against electrostatic discharge.

CAUTION: The memory modules are hot to the touch for some time after the system has been powered down. Allow time for the memory modules to cool before handling them. Handle the memory modules by the card edges and avoid touching the components on the memory module.

1Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet.

2Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 65.

3Remove the PEM (four-processor configurations) or PEM shell (two- processor configurations). See "Removing the PEM or PEM Shell" on page 73.
