Riser Board Installation When installing memory modules using the optional memory riser boards, observe the following guidelines: • The memory riser boards must be installed in system board memory sockets 1 and 2. Memory riser board A must be installed in system board memory socket 1, and riser board B must be installed in system board socket 2. System board memory sockets 3 and 4 can either be empty or contain CRIMMs. Sockets 3 and 4 cannot contain RIMMs with memory riser boards installed in sockets 1 and 2. See "System Board Memory Components" to identify the system board sockets. • Memory sockets on the riser boards must be upgraded in matched pairs. In other words, two sockets in a pair must contain modules of identical capacity, number of components, and speed. See "Memory Riser Board Components" to identify pairs of sockets. • Not all memory sockets on the memory riser boards need to be populated: if one or more pairs of memory sockets contain RIMMs, then the next pair must contain CRIMMs, and the remaining pair(s) can be empty. For example, if the first and second pairs of memory sockets on the riser boards contain RIMMs, then the third pair must contain CRIMMs, and the fourth pair can remain empty. • Mixed pairs of ECC and non-ECC modules all function as non-ECC. • The optional memory riser boards only support PC800 memory modules. Removing a Memory Module NOTICE: Before disconnecting a device from the computer, wait 10 to 20 seconds after disconnecting the computer from its electrical outlet. Before removing a component from the system board, verify that the standby power light on the system board has turned off. To locate this light, see "System Board Components." 48
