5-6 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.

DIMM Installation

1.Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with DIMM1A. Insert each DIMM module vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the notch along the bottom of the module to prevent incorrect DIMM module installation.

2.Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the slot. Repeat step 1 to install DIMM1B if needed.

Memory Support

The X8SIL/X8SIL-F supports up to 16GB of DDR3 ECC UDIMM or up to 32GB of ECC DDR3 RDIMM (1333/1066/800 MHz in 4 DIMM slots.) Populating these DIMM slots with a pair of memory modules of the same type and same size will result in interleaved memory, which will improve memory performance. Please refer to the table below:

Platform	DIMM Type		Intel® Xeon® Series Processors
X8SIL/X8SIL-F	Non-ECC UDIMM Only		Not Supported
	ECC UDIMM Only		Supported (see Table 1)
	RDIMM Only (with ECC)		Supported (see Table 2)
	Mixed ECC with non-ECC		Not Supported
	Mixed UDIMM/RDIMM		Not Supported
Table 1 - DDR3 ECC/Unbuffered (UDIMM) Memory Support
ECC UDIMM		1Gb (x8 DRAM)		2Gb (x8 DRAM)
Single Rank		Up to 4GB		Up to 8GB
		(4 x 1GB DIMM Modules)		(4 x 2GB DIMM Modules)
Dual Rank		Up to 8GB		Up to 16GB
		(4 x 2GB DIMM Modules)		(4 x 4GB DIMM Modules)
Quad Rank		Not Supported		Not Supported
