Memory Installation

Note: Check the Supermicro web site for recommended memory modules.
Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM
modules to prevent any possible damage. Also note that the
memory is interleaved to improve performance (See step 1).
DIMM Installation
1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with
DIMM #P1-DIMM1A. When populating two DIMM modules within a channel,
always start with Bank1 fi rst. For optimal memory performance, please install
a pair (or pairs) of memory modules of the same type and same speed at a
time with the maximum of 12 modules.
2. Insert each DIMM module vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the notch
along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the DIMM module incor-
rectly.
3. Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the slot.
Repeat for all modules.
