Memory Slots (4 Slots)
The B2000 workstation supports 128 MB, 256 MB, and 512 MB DIMMs. If you will install different sizes of memory DIMMs in a particular workstation, load the largest size first and then the smaller size for maximum performance. For example, load a 256 MB DIMM in slot 0 (SL0) and then load a 128 MB DIMM in slot 1 (SL1).
CAUTION The memory DIMMs must be installed in the correct order, else the workstation will not boot properly.
NOTE | Users who wish to achieve both maximum performance and maximum future |
| capacity are advised to use 512 MB DIMMs exclusively. |

To remove DIMMs, see the section titled “Removing Memory DIMMs” on page 114. To replace or install DIMMs, see the section titled “Replacing or Installing Additional Memory DIMMs” on page 115. Note that there is a system label on the floor of the workstation’s interior showing the memory loading order for the B2000.
Use the Boot Console Handler to verify that the workstation recognizes the installed memory. See “Displaying the Current Memory Configuration” on page 156.
