Expanding memory
Additional memory can be installed in your server. Memory for your server is
provided in packages called Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMMs).
Appendix B, “Technical Information,” describes how much additional
memory can be installed in the server.
Adding dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) DIMMs increases your
server’s memory. The DRAM DIMMs must be the correct type for your
server, and can be installed one at a time. For the best performance, however,
the DRAM DIMMs should be installed in pairs of the same size into paired
slots in your server.
You can also improve your server’s performance by upgrading the Level 2
(L2) cache with a higher-capacity cache DIMM. (The L2 cache stores the
most frequently used portions of memory in high-speed RAM.)
The memory used to display images on the screen (called video RAM, or
VRAM) can also be expanded by installing DIMMs. VRAM DIMMs must be
installed in pairs.
It is very important that the DIMMs be correctly installed in your Workgroup
Server 8550. Incorrect installation can result in errors, unpredictable results,
and damage to your equipment and data.
WARNING
To avoid damage to your server, Apple recommends that only
an Apple-certified technician install additional DIMMs. Consult the
service and support information that came with your server for
instructions on how to contact an Apple-authorized service provider or
Apple for service. If you attempt to install additional DIMMs yourself,
any damage you may cause to your equipment will not be covered by
the limited warranty on your server. See an Apple-authorized dealer or
service provider for additional information about this or any other
warranty question.
