Memory technology transition

IBM xSeries 335 is making a transition from 128 Mb to 256 Mb memory technology
for 256 MB dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). To accommodate this transition,
additional xSeries models are now available. These new models come with two 256
MB capacity, 256 Mb technology DIMMs. The Chipkill
with the 256 MB capacity, 128 Mb technology DIMMs is not supported with the 256
Mb technology DIMMs. If you require DIMMs that support the Chipkill feature, a
limited supply of the 256 MB, 128 Mb technology DIMMs will be available for order.
In addition, IBM will continue to offer the Chipkill feature with DIMMs that have a
capacity of 512 MB or greater.

drive and subordinate drive automatically, install jumpers in the
cable-selection-enabled position of the jumper block on both drives.
c. If you want to assign master and subordinate drives manually, install a
jumper in the master position for the drive in bay 2 and install a jumper in
the subordinate position for the drive in bay 1.
