  • Page 99: Memory Installations And Upgrade

    This section includes instructions for removing and installing a memory module. The Altos R510 provides six DDR333 DIMM sites in two DIMM channels. DIMMs 1A, 2A and 3A are connected to memory channel A. DIMM 1B, 2B and 3B are connected to memory channel B.
  • Page 100 The minimum memory configuration is one DIMM, installed in DIMM socket 1B (the socket farthest from the processors). However, for optimum performance and dual-channel interleave operation, a minimum of two DIMMs should be installed. DIMMs on channel A are paired with DIMMs on channel B to configure 2-way interleaving. Both DIMM1B and DIMM1A must be populated before any DIMMs are installed.

  • Page 101: Memory Sparing

    Memory Sparing To provide a more fault tolerant system, the Altos R510 includes specialized hardware to support fail-over to a spare DIMM device in the event that a primary DIMM in use exceeds a specified threshold of runtime errors. One of the DIMMs installed per channel will not be used, but kept in reserve.

The Slide Rails consist of individual left and right Slide Rails. Details of the Slide Rails are shown below. Setting the Multi-Pin Adapters for Rack Type lThe 10-32 threaded hole in the center of the Multi-Pin Adapter is for securing during shipping (if desired) and for the attachment of front panel blanks (if desired).

  • Page 178: Installing The Slide Rails Into The Rack

    The Multi-Pin Adapters allow the Slide Rails to be used in racks that have square mounting holes or round mounting holes. 1.On each Slide Rail, reverse the Multi-Pin Adapter position to match the rack mounting hole type if necessary. Remove the Multi-Pin Adapter by rotating the Swivel Lock up, pressing the mounting pins together, and then pulling the adapter from the Multi-Pin Bracket.
