CHAPTER 4: Installing Components 7 Connect a USB cable from the USB floppy drive connector (J27) on the system board to the back of the diskette drive. 8 Follow the instructions in "Closing the server case" on page 30. 9 Reinstall the bezel, if required, by snapping it into place on the front of the chassis. 10 Reconnect all power cords and peripheral device cables, then turn on the server. Filling empty drive bays Empty drive bays in the server must be filled by empty drive trays with dummy drives installed. With the bezel removed, install the appropriate carrier, then replace the bezel by snapping it into place on the front of the server. Empty drive carriers for unused drive bays are included with your server. Installing memory Caution Use only 667 Mhz compliant, 184-pin, SDRAM registered ECC, DIMM memory modules. The system board supports twelve DDR2 667 MHz vertical DIMMs to provide up to 48 GB of memory with ECC support. The 667 MHz differential memory clocks are driven by the AMD processor with length matching and impedance controlled through all the DIMM slots. Supported DIMM sizes include 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, and 4 GB. DIMMs must be low-profile or ultra low-profile. The BIOS configures the memory controller to run in single channel, dual channel, or four channel mode. Caution When using Dual Rank (double row) DIMMs, a maximum of four loads per memory channel is supported. This means a maximum of four dual rank DIMMs can be populated on this system board. DIMM banks must be populated using the following guidelines: There are two groups of DIMMs with six DIMMs in each group on the system board, to support processor 0 and processor 1. Each group supports one processor. The twelve DIMM sockets are respectively: • Processor 0 DIMM A0 • Processor 0 DIMM B0 • Processor 0 DIMM A1 • Processor 0 DIMM B1 • Processor 0 DIMM A2 • Processor 0 DIMM B2 • Processor 1 DIMM A0 • Processor 1 DIMM B0 • Processor 1 DIMM A1 • Processor 1 DIMM B1 • Processor 1 DIMM A2 • Processor 1 DIMM B2 36

7
Connect a USB cable from the USB floppy drive connector (J27) on the system board to the
back of the diskette drive.
8
Follow the instructions in
“Closing the server case” on page 30
.
9
Reinstall the bezel, if required, by snapping it into place on the front of the chassis.
10
Reconnect all power cords and peripheral device cables, then turn on the server.
Filling empty drive bays
Empty drive bays in the server must be filled by empty drive trays with dummy drives installed.
With the bezel removed, install the appropriate carrier, then replace the bezel by snapping it into
place on the front of the server. Empty drive carriers for unused drive bays are included with
your server.
Installing memory
The system board supports twelve DDR2 667 MHz vertical DIMMs to provide up to 48 GB of
memory with ECC support. The 667 MHz differential memory clocks are driven by the AMD
processor with length matching and impedance controlled through all the DIMM slots. Supported
DIMM sizes include 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, and 4 GB. DIMMs must be low-profile or ultra
low-profile.
The BIOS configures the memory controller to run in single channel, dual channel, or four channel
mode.
DIMM banks must be populated using the following guidelines:
There are two groups of DIMMs with six DIMMs in each group on the system board, to support
processor 0 and processor 1. Each group supports one processor. The twelve DIMM sockets are
respectively:
•

Caution
Use only 667 Mhz compliant, 184-pin, SDRAM registered ECC, DIMM memory
modules.
Caution
When using Dual Rank (double row) DIMMs, a maximum of four loads per memory
channel is supported. This means a maximum of four dual rank DIMMs can be populated
on this system board.
