.....
................................................................ ...
MEMORY SPECIFICATIONS
The system board contains twelve dual in-line memory module (DIMM) slots that support PC200-compliant registered ECC DDR DRAM DIMMs.
•
Minimum configuration: Four 128-MB DIMMs for a total of 512 MB.
•
Maximum configuration: Twelve 2-GB stacked DIMMs for a total of 24 GB.
The controller automatically detects, sizes, and initializes the memory array, depending on the
type, size, and speed of the installed DIMMs, and reports memory size and allocation to the
server via configuration registers.
Caution
...........................................
Use extreme care when installing a DIMM. Applying too much pressure can damage the socket.
...........................................
Keyed DIMMs insert only one way.
Note
...........................................
...........................................
Always fil l banks completely. The system ignores partially filled banks.
