Installing DIMMs

Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules to
prevent any possible damage. Also Note that the memory is interleaved
DIMM Installation (See Figure 2-2)
1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with DIMM
#1A. The memory scheme is interleaved so you must install two modules at
a time, beginning with DIMM #1A, then DIMM #1B, and so on.
2. Insert each DIMM module vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the notch
along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the DIMM module
incorrectly.
3. Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the slot.
Repeat for all modules (see step 1 above).
Memory Support
The X6DVA-4G2/X6DVA-EG2 supports up to 12 GB of Reg. ECC DDRII 400
(PC3200) memory. Note: Due to OS limitations, some operating systems may
not support more than 4GB of memory.
