Installing Memory
Installing Memory
1. Insert each memory module vertically into its slot, paying attention to the
notch along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the module
incorrectly (see Figure 5-2).
2. Install to slots P1/DIMM1A, P1/DIMM2A, etc. For best performance always
use the same memory type and speed in the same memory bank. See
support information below.
3. Gently press down on the memory module until it snaps into place.
4. With two CPUs installed, repeat step 2 to populate the CPU2 DIMM slots.
Note: 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB or 32 GB size size memory modules
are supported. It is highly recommended that you remove the power cord from the
system before installing or changing memory modules. Please refer to our web site
for memory that has been tested on the X9DRT-HF/HIBQF/HIBFF serverboard.
Memory Support
The X9DRT-HF/HIBQF/HIBFF serverboard supports single and dual channel,
DDR3-1600/1333/1066/800 MHz speed registered ECC/Unbuffered ECC/non-ECC
SDRAM. Populating two slots at a time with memory modules of the same size and
type will result in interleaved (128-bit) memory, which is faster than non-interleaved
(64-bit) memory.
Note: Check the Supermicro website (www.supermicro.com) for the latest memory
support information.
Maximum Memory
The X9DRT-HF/HIBQF/HIBFF serverboard supports up to 256 GB of ECC RDIMM
memory in eight (8) DIMM slots.
