Installing Memory
Note: Check the Supermicro web site for recommended memory modules.
Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules to
DIMM Installation
1.
Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with
DIMM1A. Insert each DIMM module vertically into its slot. Pay attention to
the notch along the bottom of the module to prevent incorrect DIMM module
installation.
2.
Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the slot.
Repeat step 1 to install DIMM1B if needed.
Memory Support
The X8SIL/X8SIL-F supports up to 16GB of DDR3 ECC UDIMM or up to 32GB
of ECC DDR3 RDIMM (1333/1066/800 MHz in 4 DIMM slots.) Populating these
DIMM slots with a pair of memory modules of the same type and same size will
result in interleaved memory, which will improve memory performance. Please
refer to the table below:
