Installing memory modules The following notes describe the types of dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) that your server supports and other information that you must consider when installing DIMMs: v Your server supports 2.5 V, 184-pin, error correcting code (ECC), double-data rate (DDR) SDRAM, PC2100 registered DIMMs with Chipkill memory protection. v DIMMs can be removed and replaced through the access doors on the top of the memory cassette. v You can increase the amount of memory in the server by replacing the DIMMs with higher-capacity DIMMs or installing additional pairs of DIMMs in open sockets. The server supports 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB DIMMs. See the ServerProven list at http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat/ for an updated list of memory modules supported by the server. v For a server with an 8-DIMM-connector memory cassette, you can increase the memory capabilities of your server by upgrading to the 16-connector memory cassette. The 16-connector memory cassette supports memory mirroring and Memory ProteXion. See the ServerProven list at http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat/ for a list of memory cassettes supported by the server. v Your server uses interleaved DIMMs, which require that you install the DIMMs in specific configurations: - In the 8-DIMM-connector memory cassette, install DIMMs in pairs. Each pair must be of the same type, capacity, and speed. The DIMM connectors are arranged in two groups of four rows each; the server comes with one pair of DIMMs installed in DIMM connectors 1 and 5 in the memory cassette. - In the 16-DIMM-connector memory cassette, the DIMM connectors are arranged in two groups of eight rows each. In non-mirrored mode, install Chapter 2. Installing options 9
