64 3 System upgrade Upgrading the system memory This section includes instructions for removing and installing a memory module. Altos G530 has four DDR2-400 DIMM slots. Each slot supports 512 MB, 1GB or 2GB memory modules. The maximum memory capacity is 8GB. Memory module installation guidelines • The minimum memory configuration is one DIMM, installed in the DIMM 1B socket (the socket farthest from the CPU sockets). However, for optimum performance and dual-channel interleave operation, a minimum of two DIMMs should be installed. DIMMs on channel A (DIMM 1A and 2A) are paired with DIMMs on channel B (DIMM 1B and 2B) to enable 2-way interleaving. Note: Dual-channel memory requires symmetrical memory modules using the same density (e.g. 512 MB), bus width (e.g. x8, x16) and granule technology (e.g. 512M-bit). • Populate both DIMMs in bank 1 (DIMM 1B and 1A) first, before populating DIMMs in bank 2 (DIMM 2B and 2A). Bank 2 must be populated in pairs. Note: Refer to the "Mainboard layout" on page 14 for the location of the DIMM slots.
