Dimm - NEC BladeServer Express5800 Series User Manual

9-12 Upgrading Your Server

DIMM

A DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Module) is inserted into the DIMM socket on the CPU blade. The
CPU blade includes 12 DIMM sockets. Install or remove DIMM's in pairs.
IMPORTANT:
The DIMM is extremely sensitive to static electricity. Make sure to
touch the metal frame of the server to discharge static electricity
from your body before handling the DIMM. Do not touch the
DIMM terminals with your bare hands or place the DIMM directly
on a desk. For static notes, see the section "Anti-static Measures"
described earlier.
Make sure to use a DIMM authorized by NEC. Installing a
third-party DIMM may cause a failure of the DIMM as well as the
server. Repair costs of the server due to damage resulting from
installation of such a DIMM will be charged even within the
warranty period.
DIMM's must be populated in pairs. Install DIMM's in ascending
order of the slot number. Installed DIMM's must have the same
specifications. The CPU blade will not operate if DIMM's of
different specifications are installed in a single bank.
The installed memory may not be detected correctly due to 32-bit
addressing limitations.
