5-5 Installing Memory

Note: Check the Supermicro web site for recommended memory modules.

CAUTION

Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules to prevent any possible damage. Also note that memory may be interleaved to improve performance (see step 1).

DIMM Installation

1.Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with slot DIMM#1A and DIMM#1B. Both interleaved and non-interleaved memory are sup- ported, so you may populate any number of DIMM slots. Populating two slots at a time (DIMM1A + DIMM1B, DIMM2A + DIMM2B, etc.) with memory modules of the same size and of the same type will result in dual-channel, interleaved memory which is faster than the single-channel, non-interleaved memory.

2.Insert each DIMM module vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the notch along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the DIMM module incorrectly.

3.Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the slot. Repeat for all modules (see step 1 above).
