Installing DIMMs
The server only supports 100 MHz PC/100-compliant SDRAM.
• Install from 32 MB to 2 GB of unbuffered memory, using up to four single or double-banked
DIMMs
Or
• Install from 32 MB to 2 GB of registered memory, using up to four single or double-banked
DIMMs
Installed DIMMs must be the same speed and either all registered or all unbuffered. For a list of
supported memory, call your service representative or visit the Intel Support website:

CAUTION
Use extreme care when installing a DIMM. Applying too much pressure can
damage the socket. DIMMs are keyed and can be inserted in only one way.
Mixing dissimilar metals may cause later memory failures resulting in data
corruption. Only install DIMMs with gold-plated edge connectors in
gold-plated sockets.
To install your memory:
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter.
2. Open your server.
3. Holding the DIMM only by its edges, remove it from its anti-static package.
4. Orient the DIMM so that the two notches in the bottom edge of the DIMM align with the keyed
socket.
5. Insert the bottom edge of the DIMM into the socket, and press down firmly on the DIMM until
it seats correctly.
6. Gently push the plastic ejector levers on the socket ends to the upright position.
