Memory Installation

Note: Check the Supermicro website for recommended memory modules.
Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM
modules to prevent any possible damage. Also note that the
memory is interleaved to improve performance (See step 1).
DIMM Installation
1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory
slots, starting with DIMM #P1-DIMM1A. When popu-
lating DIMM modules always start with Channel1
(#P1-DIMM1A, 1B and 1C) first. For optimal memory
performance, please use memory modules of the
same type and the same speed on the motherboard.
(See the Memory Installation Table.)
2. Insert each DIMM module vertically into its slot. Pay
attention to the notch along the bottom of the module
to prevent inserting the DIMM module incorrectly.
3. Use two thumbs to press down both notches on the
ends of the DIMM module until it snaps into place in
the slot. Repeat for all modules.
To Remove:
Use your thumbs to gently
push the release tabs near
both ends of the module.
This should release it from
the slot.
