Installing Additional Memory

Introduction

By adding more memory, you can run larger and more complicated

software on your server. Your Prioris ZX 6000MP Series server supports

up to 2 GB of standard parity memory using single in-line memory

modules (SIMMs). Your server’s memory can be increased by adding

SIMMs on the main logic board (MLB) and optional memory modules.

NOTE: The MLB must be fully populated before adding

optional memory modules. Two memory modules are

required when upgrading memory.

Also, you must order the SIMMs for the memory modules

separately.

This chapter provides the memory configuration guidelines that must be

followed prior to installing additional SIMMs into your Prioris ZX 6000MP

Series server. It also provides the procedures for installing additional

SIMMs on the MLB and memory modules, and for installing memory

modules.

Memory installation begins with Bank 0 on the MLB. Further upgrades

require that both memory modules be installed in order to support four-

way interleaving. Complete banks (8 SIMMs) must be installed in Bank 1

of both memory module 1 and 2 before adding SIMMs to Bank 2, etc.
