Memory Caution Modules must be installed in identical groups of four. Use only PC1600 (DDR-200) or PC2100 (DDR-266) compliant, SDRAM registered ECC, DIMM memory modules. Install memory first into Bank 1, Bank 2, then Bank 3. If memory is installed incorrectly, your server will not start. Partially filled banks are ignored by the server. For the most reliable and stable operation, we recommend you use memory from the same manufacturer in all memory banks.
