Installing Memory

The SHG2 Server Board contains six 184-pin DIMM sockets. Memory is partitioned as three
banks. DIMMs must be populated in identical pairs.

The SHG2 server board supports up to six 2.5 V, ECC, DDR 200 or 266-compliant, registered
SDRAM 184-pin gold DIMMs. A wide range of DIMM sizes are supported, including 128 MB,
256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB DIMMs. The minimum supported memory configuration is
256 MB, using two identical 128 MB DIMMs. The maximum configurable memory size is 12 GB
using six 2 GB DIMMs.
The SDRAM interface runs at 200 MHz; however 266 MHz memory can be used. The memory
controller supports 2-way interleaved SDRAM, memory scrubbing, single-bit error correction and
multiple-bit error detection with Chipkill capability that allows the system to continue to run even
in the event of a multi-bit SDRAM failure. Memory can be implemented with either single-sided
(one row) or double-sided (two row) DIMMs.

NOTE
Use DIMMs that have been tested for compatibility with the server board.
