Installing Memory
Note: Check the Supermicro web site for recommended memory modules.
Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules
1. Insert each memory module vertically into its slot, paying attention to the notch along
the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the module incorrectly (see Figure 5-4).
Insert fi rst into the 1B slot(s), then the 1A slot(s), etc. See support information below.
2. Gently press down on the memory module until it snaps into place.
Note: Each processor has its own built-in memory controller, consequently each
CPU has an eight-slot memory bank associated with it. (Memory installed into a
bank with no CPU present cannot be accessed.) 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB and
4 GB memory modules are supported. It is highly recommended that you remove
the power cord from the system before installing or changing DIMMs.
