3.1How to Remove a Memory Module

Memory modules for this system are dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). Each DIMM bank must contain four DIMMs of equal density (for example, four 64-Mbyte DIMMs) to function properly. Supported DIMM configuration options are 32, 64, and 128 megabytes. See the Sun Enterprise 220R Server Owner's Guide for more information.
