Memory Installation Conventions
Before installing memory, read and understand the following memory installation conventions:
• “Supported DIMM Sizes and Memory Configurations”
• “Memory Load Order”
• DIMM slot IDs
Supported DIMM Sizes and Memory Configurations
The standard server configuration includes an 8-DIMM memory carrier which contains two
4-DIMM memory boards. An optional, high-capacity memory configuration with a 24-DIMM
memory carrier containing a pair of 12-DIMM memory boards is available with this server.
System DIMMs seat onto the memory boards. The minimum server configuration requires at
least one memory pair in the 8-DIMM memory carrier, and at least one memory quad (group of
four DIMMs) in the 24-DIMM memory carrier.
The following are the supported DIMM sizes for the server:
• 512 MB
• 1 GB
• 2 GB
• 4 GB
Table 6-5 lists the supported memory configurations for the server.
