IBM® Netfinity® 5100 Installation Guide
Your server comes with a dual inline memory module (DIMM) installed on the
system board in DIMM connector 1 (J23).
Notes:
1. Install additional DIMMs in the order specified in the documentation that comes
with your option. (See the following illustration for memory connector locations.)
2. Your Netfinity 5100 server supports 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, and 1GB DIMMs.
Your server supports a maximum of 4GB of system memory. See the
ServerProven list at http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat for a list of memory
modules for use with your server.
3. Installing or removing DIMMs changes the configuration information in the
server. Therefore, after installing or removing a DIMM, you must save the new
configuration information by using the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
When you restart the server, the system displays a message that indicates that the
memory configuration has changed. Start the Configuration/Setup Utility
program and select Save Settings. Refer to the User's Reference on the IBM
Netfinity Documentation CD for more information.
Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
