Installing Memory
Note: Check the Supermicro web site for recommended memory modules.
Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules
Installing DIMMs
1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with slot
DIMMA1.
2. Push the release tabs outwards on both ends of the DIMM slot to unlock it.
3. Align the key on the DIMM module with the receptive point on the slot.
4. Use two thumbs together to press on both ends of the module straight down
into the slot until the module snaps into place.
5. Press the release tabs to the lock positions to secure the DIMM module into
the slot. See Figure 5-3.
Memory Support
The X9SRi-F supports up to 256 GB of DDR3-1600/1333/1066 ECC R/LRDIMMs
(LRDIMM = Reduced Load DIMMs) or up to 64GB of ECC UDIMMs. Populating
these DIMM modules with a pair of memory modules of the same type and same
size will result in interleaved memory, which will improve memory performance.
To Install: Insert module
vertically and press
down until it snaps into
place. Pay attention to
the alignment notch at
the bottom.
To Remove:
Use your thumbs to
gently push the release
tabs near both ends of
the module. This should
release it from the slot.
