Memory The computer comes with double data rate 2 synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDR2SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). CAUTION: DDR and DDR2 memory modules are not interchangeable. DDR2-SDRAM DIMMs The memory sockets on the system board can be populated with up to four industry-standard DIMMs. These memory sockets are populated with at least one preinstalled DIMM. To achieve the maximum memory support, you can populate the system board with up to 8 GB of memory configured in a highperforming dual channel mode. For proper system operation, the DDR2-SDRAM DIMMs must be: ● industry-standard 240-pin ● unbuffered PC2-5300 667 MHz-compliant and unbuffered PC2-6400 800 MHz-compliant ● 1.8 volt DDR2-SDRAM DIMMs The DDR2-SDRAM DIMMs must also: ● support CAS latency 4 (CL = 4) for PC2-5300 667 MHz-compliant and PC2-6400 800 MHz ● contain the mandatory JEDEC SPD information In addition, the computer supports: ● 256Mbit, 512Mbit, and 1Gbit non-ECC memory technologies ● single-sided and double-sided DIMMs ● DIMMs constructed with x8 and x16 DDR devices; DIMMs constructed with x4 SDRAM are not supported NOTE: The system will not start if you install unsupported DIMMs. Replacing Memory CAUTION: The memory module sockets have gold metal contacts. When upgrading the memory, it is important to use memory modules with gold metal contacts to prevent corrosion and/or oxidation resulting from having incompatible metals in contact with each other. Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer or optional cards. Before beginning these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal object. When handling a memory module, be careful not to touch any of the contacts. Doing so may damage the module. 1. Prepare the computer for disassembly (Preparation for Disassembly on page 87). 2. Remove the access panel (Access Panel on page 88). 3. Rotate the drive cage to its upright position. Memory 99

Memory
The computer comes with double data rate 2 synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDR2-
SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).
CAUTION:
DDR and DDR2 memory modules are not interchangeable.
DDR2-SDRAM DIMMs
The memory sockets on the system board can be populated with up to four industry-standard DIMMs.
These memory sockets are populated with at least one preinstalled DIMM. To achieve the maximum
memory support, you can populate the system board with up to 8 GB of memory configured in a high-
performing dual channel mode.
For proper system operation, the DDR2-SDRAM DIMMs must be:
●
industry-standard 240-pin
●
unbuffered PC2-5300 667 MHz-compliant and unbuffered PC2-6400 800 MHz-compliant
●
1.8 volt DDR2-SDRAM DIMMs
The DDR2-SDRAM DIMMs must also:
●
support CAS latency 4 (CL = 4) for PC2-5300 667 MHz-compliant and PC2-6400 800 MHz
●
contain the mandatory JEDEC SPD information
In addition, the computer supports:
●
256Mbit, 512Mbit, and 1Gbit non-ECC memory technologies
●
single-sided and double-sided DIMMs
●
DIMMs constructed with x8 and x16 DDR devices; DIMMs constructed with x4 SDRAM are not
supported
NOTE:
The system will not start if you install unsupported DIMMs.
Replacing Memory
CAUTION:
The memory module sockets have gold metal contacts. When upgrading the memory, it
is important to use memory modules with gold metal contacts to prevent corrosion and/or oxidation
resulting from having incompatible metals in contact with each other.
Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer or optional cards. Before
beginning these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a
grounded metal object.
When handling a memory module, be careful not to touch any of the contacts. Doing so may damage
the module.
1.
Prepare the computer for disassembly (
Preparation for Disassembly
on page
87
).
2.
Remove the access panel (
Access Panel
on page
88
).
3.
Rotate the drive cage to its upright position.
