Note: If the server has a PCIe RAID adapter and you install or remove a hard disk
drive, see the documentation that comes with your RAID adapter for information
about reconfiguring the disk arrays.
Installing a memory module
The following notes describe the types of dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) that
the system-board tray supports and other information that you must consider when
you install DIMMs:
v The system-board tray supports only industry-standard double-data-rate 3
v Do not install 1.5V DIMMs and 1.35V DIMMs in the same server.
v The system-board tray supports up to 16 DIMMs.
v The system-board tray supports three single-rank or dual-rank DIMMs per
