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 the
memory is interleaved to improve performance (see step 1).
DIMM Installation (Figures 5-5a and 5-5b)
1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory sockets, starting
with Bank #1A. The memory scheme is interleaved so you must install
two modules at a time, beginning with DIMM #1A, then DIMM #1B, and
so on.
2. Insert each DIMM module vertically into its socket. 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
sockets. Repeat for all modules (see step 1 above).
Memory Support
X6DHP-8G: six 184-pin DIMM slots that can support up to 12 GB of regis-
tered ECC DDR333 (PC2700) or up to 24 GB of registered ECC DDR266
(PC2100) SDRAM.
