9-44 Upgrading Your Server
IMPORTANT:
The DIMM is easily affected by static electricity. Handle the
DIMM after making your body contact with a metallic frame
section of the server to discharge the static electricity on your body.
Do not make bare hands contact with terminals and components on
the DIMM. In addition, do not put the DIMM on a desk directly.
See "Static Precautions" for details of the static electricity.
Do not use any DIMM not approved by NEC. If an unapproved
third party's DIMM is installed in the server, not only the DIMM but
also the server itself may be defected. You will be charged by any
repair of a malfunction or defect caused by such a device within the
warranty period.
Due to an interleave device, add two DIMMs in banks.
*1
The server
does not operate if DIMMs of different specifications are installed
in a single bank.
*1 Each pair of slots #1 and #2, slots #3 and #4, slots #5 and #6, and slots
#7 and #8 in the figure on the previous page constitutes a bank.
*2 The specification of a DIMM is described on the label put on the board
as follows:
Example: Frequency of 333 MHz, buffered, capacity of 512 MB,
raw address of 12 bits, column address of 10 bits, and
single side
333 / B / 512 / R12 C10 S
Single side

Frequency
DIMMs must be populated in pairs and in the following order:
#5 and #6, #3 and #4, #1 and #2, then #7 and #8.
Install DIMMs starting from the one having largest capacity.
Installed DIMMs must be the same speed and must all be registered.
Take a note of beep code pattern, and take appropriate action
according to the table listed earlier in "Beep Codes".
NOTES:
Up to 16GB (2GB × 8) of memory can be added.
If six or more DDR333 SDRAMs are installed, the system operates
at DDR266 standard.
In the error messages and logs in POST, NEC ESMPRO Manager,
or Off-line Maintenance Utility, the DIMM connector may be called
group. The number next to a group meets the connector number in
the figure shown in the previous page.
