Installing memory

When you upgrade your computer memory, make sure that you install the correct type of memory module for your computer. For more information about your computer’s memory type, see “Specifications” on page 104.

Installing or replacing RIMM memory

You need to use a combination of Rambus Interface Memory Modules (RIMMs) and Continuity-RIMMs (C-RIMMs). All memory slots must be filled with either a RIMM or a C-RIMM.

RIMMs

RIMM memory has a metal cover on one or both sides of the module.

C-RIMMs

C-RIMMs are placeholders that let the memory modules work. A C-RIMM does not have a metal cover on either side of the module.
