Installing DIMMs
When installing dual inline memory modules (DIMMs), consider the
following information and guidelines:
• Your server supports 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1 GB DIMMs, for a
maximum of 4 GB of system memory.
• Depending on the server configuration, the installation will reduce the
amount of usable memory. A certain amount of memory must be reserved
for system resources. The BIOS displays the total amount of installed
memory and the amount of configured memory.
• Your server comes with one 512 MB DIMM installed in DIMM
connector 1. If your system has one DIMM installed, when you install an
additional DIMM, you must install it in DIMM connector 3, and it must
be the same size, speed, type, and technology as the DIMM installed in
DIMM connector 1. You can mix compatible DIMMs from various
manufacturers.
• If you install a second pair of DIMMs in DIMM connectors 2 and 4, they
do not have to be the same size, speed, type and technology as the
DIMMs installed in DIMM connectors 1 and 3. However, the size, speed,
type and technology of the DIMMs you install in connectors 2 and 4 must
match each other.
• Install only 2.5 V, 184-pin, double-data-rate (DDR), PC2700 or PC3200,
unbuffered synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM)
