2-3 Installing DIMMs
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 the
memory is interleaved to improve performance (see step 1).
DIMM Installation (See Figure 2-2)
1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with
Bank 1. The memory scheme is interleaved so you must install two
modules at a time, beginning with Bank 1, then Bank 2, and so on.
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).
Memory Support
The X5DP8-G2/X5DPE-G2/X5DPR-8G2+/X5DPR-iG2+/X5DPi-G2 only supports
ECC registered DDR-266/200 MHz SDRAM memory. If you are using 533
MHz front side bus processors(s), you must use DDR-266 SDRAM. If you
are using 400 MHz front side bus processors(s), you may use either DDR-
266 or DDR-200 SDRAM. Do not mix DIMMs of different sizes and/or
speeds.
