IBM xSeries 200: User's Reference
Your server comes with a DIMM installed on the system board in DIMM connector
1. When installing additional memory modules, install the second memory module
in DIMM connector 2, and the third in DIMM connector 3. (See the illustration in
this section for memory connector locations.)
Your xSeries 200 server supports 128 MB, 256 MB, and 512 MB DIMMs. Your
server supports a minimum of 128 MB and a maximum of 1.5 GB 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.
Installing or removing DIMMs changes the configuration information in the server.
Therefore, after installing or removing a DIMM, you must change and save the
new configuration information by using the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
When you restart the server, the system displays a message indicating that the
memory configuration has changed. Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program
and select Save Settings. See Chapter 3, "Configuring your server," on page 9
for more information.
