Installing memory
Your server supports from 512 MB to 24 GB total memory.
To add or replace memory modules:
1 Follow the instructions in “Preventing static electricity discharge” on
page 36. Make sure that you turn off the server, then unplug the power
cords and all other cables connected to the server.
2 Remove the top rear panel. For instructions, see “Removing the top rear
panel” on page 41.
3 Remove the inside panel. For instructions, see “Removing the inside panel”
on page 45.
Caution Modules must be installed in identical groups of four. Use
only PC1600 (DDR-200) or PC2100 (DDR-266) compliant,
SDRAM registered ECC, DIMM memory modules.
Install memory first into Bank 1, Bank 2, then Bank 3. If
memory is installed incorrectly, your server will not start.
Partially filled banks are ignored by the server.
For the most reliable and stable operation, we recommend
you use memory from the same manufacturer in all
memory banks.
