IBM 6345, 2194, 2193 manual Upgrading the system memory, Installing memory modules

Upgrading the system memory

Your system board has two system memory module sockets: DIMM 0, and DIMM 1. These sockets hold Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs) that contain 3.3V single- or double-sided synchronous DRAM (SDRAM). You can install up to a maximum of 256MB of system memory into each socket. For information about supported memory configurations, see “Memory module placement” on page A-1.

Installing memory modules

To install a DIMM:

1.Locate the memory retaining clips at both ends of the socket. Pivot the memory retaining clips outward.

2.Locate the two notches on the DIMM and the two tabs on the socket. Align the DIMM with the socket. Make sure the notches and tabs align.

3.Press the DIMM into the socket until the clips lock into the DIMM.

Note:

The DIMM socket is slotted to ensure proper installation. If you insert a DIMM but it does not fit easily into the socket, you may have inserted it incorrectly. Turn the DIMM around and try to insert it again.
