2.10 Installing Memory DIMMs

The ES40CSLP rackmount system contains four memory motherboards for installing memory
DIMMs. Each memory motherboard has eight slots for installing 200-pin DIMMs. A memory
set consists of four DIMMs. The system can be populated with a maximum of eight memory
sets, numbered 0 through 7. Figure 2-13 shows the memory motherboard slot locations on the
system motherboard and the memory set locations on the memory motherboards. The following
configuration rules apply to the memory sets:
•
DIMMs are installed in sets of four.
•
All DIMMs in a set must be the same size.
•
Two sets constitute an array. All DIMMs within an array must be the same size. For
example, if Set 0 consists of 64 MB DIMMs, Set 4 must also consist of 64 MB DIMMs.
The arrays are as follows:
Array 0
Array 1
Array 2
Array 3
•
DIMM sets must be installed in numerical order. Set 0 is installed first, then Set 1, Set 2,
Set 3, and so forth.
