5-5 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. Also note that memory may be
interleaved to improve performance (see step 1).
DIMM Installation
1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with slot
DIMM#1A and DIMM#1B. Both interleaved and non-interleaved memory are sup-
ported, so you may populate any number of DIMM slots. Populating two slots at
a time (DIMM1A + DIMM1B, DIMM2A + DIMM2B, etc.) with memory modules of
the same size and of the same type will result in dual-channel, interleaved memory
which is faster than the single-channel, non-interleaved memory.
2. Insert each DIMM module vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the notch along
the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the DIMM 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).
