Memory upgrades are not available for the iDataPlex dx360 servers. To avoid
potential problems, do not attempt to upgrade the number or type of DIMMs in an
iDataPlex dx360 system-board tray.
The iDataPlex dx360 system board has 16 DIMM connectors and supports fully
buffered double-data rate (DDR2) 667 MHz DIMMs with AMB+ or DDR2 800
MHz DIMMs with AMB+. As of the date of this publication, the dx360 supports
the following 2 GB and 4 GB DIMMs with up to 64 GB of total memory in each
system-board tray.
2 GB DIMM, DDR2–667 PC2-5300 555 fully buffered DIMM with AMB+
4 GB DIMM, DDR2–667 PC2-5300 555 fully buffered DIMM with AMB+
2 GB DIMM, DDR2–800 PC2-6400 666 fully buffered DIMM with AMB+
4 GB DIMM, DDR2–800 PC2-6400 666 fully buffered DIMM with AMB+
Notes:
1. The 667 MHz DIMMs operate with all supported microprocessors. (See
"Microprocessors" on page 9 for the list of supported microprocessors.)
2. The 800 MHz DIMMs operate with only the Intel Xeon E5462 2.80 GHz/1600
MHz quad core and Intel Xeon E5472 3.00 GHz/1600 MHz quad core
microprocessors.
