CHAPTER 4: Installing Components

Installing memory

Caution

Use only 667 MHz Fully-Buffered (FB-DIMM) memory modules.

Your server supports eight 667 MHz fully-buffered DIMMs (FB-DIMMs) to provide up to a maximum of 32 GB with fully-buffered support. Supported DIMM sizes include 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, and 4 GB. DIMMs must be low-profile or ultra low-profile and cannot exceed 1.2” in height.

The BIOS configures the memory controller to run in non-redundant, mirroring, and sparing modes:
