● Populate all the sockets with white release tabs first, followed by the sockets with black release tabs.
● Unbalanced or odd memory configurations result in a performance loss, and the system may not identify the memory
modules being installed. Always populate memory channels identically with equal DIMMs for best performance.
● Supported RDIMM configurations are 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, or 16 DIMMs per processor.
Removing a memory module
Prerequisites
1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in the
2. Follow the procedure listed in the
3.
Remove the air
shroud.
WARNING:
The memory modules are hot to touch for some time after the system has been powered off. Allow

2. To release the memory module from the socket, simultaneously press the ejectors on both ends of the memory module
socket to fully open.
CAUTION:
Handle each memory module only by the card edges, ensuring not to touch the middle of the
