CAUTION

Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM

modules to prevent any possible damage.

DIMM Installation (See Figure 2-2)

1.Insert an even number of memory modules. Interleaved memory requires you to install two modules at a time. With the X5DL8-GG, begin from the two slots of the last bank and working your way toward the two slots of Bank 1. With the X5DLR-8G2+/X5DLR-8G2, you may begin populating the slots two at a time (a full bank) from either end.

2.Insert each DIMM module into its slot. Note the notch at the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the 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).

Support

The X5DL8-GG/X5DLR-8G2+/X5DLR-8G2 supports ECC registered DDR-266/ 200 (PC2100/1600) SDRAM memory. An interleaved memory configuration is used (see step 1 above).

The interleaved memory scheme also employs an additional performance- enhancing feature. This feature works best when four DIMM slots are populated, is slightly reduced when all eight slots are populated, and is reduced slightly more with a two-slot configuration. In a six-slot configura- tion, this performance enhancing feature is not utilized, resulting in standard interleaved memory performance.
