Installing a memory module The following notes describe the types of dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) that the server supports and other information that you must consider when installing DIMMs: v The server supports up to eight Fully Buffered DIMM PC2-5300 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, and 4 GB DIMMs, for a maximum of 32 GB of system memory. See http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/ for a list of memory modules that you can use with the server. Note: Because some memory is reserved for system operation, the actual usable memory size that is reported by the operating system is less than the total installed size. v The server comes with a minimum of two 512 MB DIMMs or two 1 GB DIMMs, installed in slots 1 and 3 or slots 5 and 7. When you install additional DIMMs, Chapter 2. Installing options 19
