Memory Module Guidelines To ensure optimal performance of your computer, observe the following general guidelines when configuring your system memory: • Memory modules of different sizes can be mixed (for example, 2 GB and 4 GB), but all populated channels must have identical configurations. • Memory modules must be installed beginning with the first socket. NOTE: The memory sockets in your computer may be labelled differently depending on the hardware configuration. For example, A1, A2 or 1,2,3. • If the quad-rank memory modules are mixed with single or dual-rank modules, the quad-rank modules must be installed in the sockets with the white release levers. • If memory modules with different speeds are installed, they operate at the speed of the slowest installed memory module(s). Removing the Memory 1. Follow the procedures in Before Working Inside Your Computer. 2. Remove: a) cover b) front bezel c) drive cage 3. Press down on the memory retention clips on each side of the memory modules, and lift the memory modules out of the connectors on the system board. 14

If the quad-rank memory modules are mixed with single or dual-rank modules, the quad-rank modules must be
installed in the sockets with the white release levers.
If memory modules with different speeds are installed, they operate at the speed of the slowest installed
memory module(s).
