POWEREDGE SC1420/1425, 1800/1850/1855, 2800/2850 SERVERS

SYSTEM AND MEMORY OVERVIEW

Note: Refer to your system owner’s manual for detailed instructions and be
sure to follow all static and safety precautions.
The PowerEdge servers will support up to 12 to 16GB of high-speed Dual Channel DDR2 400MHz ECC SDRAM memory
Except for a single DIMM in the first slot, odd numbered DIMMs are not support--DIMMs must be installed in matched pairs
DIMMs should be installed in the following order:
¾ Slots 1 and 2, 3 and 4, and then 5 and 6
If using both single and dual rank DIMMs, they must be installed in the following order:
¾ Dual rank DIMMs in slots 1 and 2 ¾ Dual or single rank DIMMs in slots 3 and 4 ¾ Single rank DIMMs only in slots 5 and 6
If four dual rank DIMMs are used then slots 5 and 6 must be empty
Current O.S’s, such as Microsoft® Windows® XP, can only use a maximum of 4GB of address space; however, the amount of memory available to the O.S. may be significantly less than 4GB. Certain components within the computer require address space in the 4GB range. Any address space reserved for these components cannot be used by computer memory.

MEMORY REMOVAL

y
Note: Refer to your system owner’s manual for detailed instructions.
Caution: System parts are sensitive to electrostatic discharge and can be
damaged by the static charge you may carry. You should wear a
rounded wrist strap.
1. Turn off the system and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords and all external cables.
2. If you need to remove existing memory (to replace with higher density modules for example), do that now by pressing down on the ejection levers on both sides of module slots. Carefully pull the modules straight out of the slots and set them down on an antistatic mat.
MEMORY INSTALLATION
3. Open both ejector levers on each slot.
4. Position a module over the slot so that the alignment notches on the DIMM match the notches on the connector.
5. Press firmly with your thumbs on both top ends of the module, applying equal pressure until the module snaps into place. Lock the module in the socket by pushing up on the ejector levers until they are in their upright position.
Caution: Confirm the modules are fully and evenly seated in the slots.
Improper seating can cause electrical shorts that can damage the memor
and/or the system.
6. Continue to install the remaining memory modules until you have filled the bank with two identical modules. Repeat the above steps for each bank of memory you wish to install.
7. Reconnect the power cords and external cables, and turn on the system.
8. After you reboot, ensure the system recognizes the new memory configuration.
