Installing Memory

This section contains information regarding the installation of additional
memory. However, before continuing with this section, please take time
to read the following list of considerations:
• Use the procedure described in the chapter "The Boot Console
Interface" to determine the current memory configuration for your
computer. This should be done before trying to install additional
DIMMs (Dual Inline Memory Modules) into your computer.
• Familiarize yourself with the order in which DIMMs must be
inserted; the order differs, depending on whether you have a J5000
(eight memory slots) or a J7000 (sixteen memory slots). This
information is on a label on the floor of the left side of the J5000, and
on the main air guide in the J7000. The labels look like this:

sequence indicated in the left illustration above (or on the label inside
the left side of the machine). For the J7000—the four-processor
model—insert the DIMMs in pairs of equal memory size, and in the
