Installing A Memory Module - IBM System x3650 M4 Type 7915 Installation And User Manual

5. Use the thermal-grease syringe to place 9 uniformly spaced dots of 0.02 mL
6. Install the heat sink onto the microprocessor as described in 11 on page 105.

Installing a memory module

The following notes describe the types of dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) that
the server supports and other information that you must consider when you install
DIMMs.
v To confirm that the server supports the adapter that you are installing, see
v When you install or remove DIMMs, the server configuration information
v The server supports only industry-standard double-data-rate 3 (DDR3), 800,

each on the top of the microprocessor. The outermost dots must be within
approximately 5 mm of the edge of the microprocessor; this is to ensure uniform
distribution of the grease.
Note: If the grease is properly applied, approximately half of the grease will
remain in the syringe.

indicates that the memory configuration has changed.
1066, or 1333 MHz, PC3-6400, PC3-8500, or PC3-10600 registered or
unbuffered, synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) dual inline
memory modules (DIMMs) with error correcting code (ECC). See
http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/ for a list of
supported memory modules for the server.
– The specifications of a DDR3 DIMM are on a label on the DIMM, in the
following format.
ggggg eRxff PC3v-wwwwwm-aa-bb-ccd
where:
ggggg is the total capacity of the DIMM (for example, 256MB, 512MB,
1GB, 2GB, or 4GB)
eR is the number of ranks
1R = single-rank
2R = dual-rank
4R = quad-rank
xff is the device organization (bit width)
