5-5 Installing Memory
Note: Check the Supermicro web site for recommended memory modules: http://www.supermicro.com/support/resources/
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).
