The following notes describe the types of dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) that
the blade server supports and other information that you must consider when
installing DIMMs:
v The processor board contains eight DIMM connectors and supports two-way
v The DIMM options supported for your blade server are 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB,
v You might have to enable large-memory support for your operating system to
v Your blade server comes with two or more DIMMs installed, in pairs, starting with

6. Place the IDE drive tray from the option kit over the riser card as shown in the
illustration, aligning the tray with the screw holes on the I/O board. Two of the
screw holes have screws in them.
7. Remove the tray temporarily; then, remove the two screws from the screw

using the hot-spare memory feature, the DIMMs of one memory pair do not have
to match the DIMMs of the other memory pairs. To use the hot-spare memory
feature, at least two DIMM pairs must be installed in the blade server. The hot
spare memory feature is enabled using the Configuration/Setup Utility program
(see "Configuration/Setup Utility menu choices" on page 52 for information).
