Step 4 Install Cache Memory

Continued

Important

If the DIMM SDRAM is not installed when you receive your MegaRAID Express

500 RAID controller, you must call the manufacturer for a list of approved DIMM

vendors. You must use an approved DIMM only. Call American Megatrends

technical support at 770-246-8600 for the latest list of approved memory vendors.

Install cache memory on the MegaRAID Express 500 card in the DIMM socket.
This socket accepts a 168-pin DIMM.

Lay the controller card component-side up on a clean static-free surface to install
the DIMM. The memory socket is a right-angle connector and is mounted flush
with the MegaRAID card. The DIMM card, when properly installed, will be
parallel to the MegaRAID card.

The DIMM clicks into place, indicating proper seating in the socket, as shown
below. The MegaRAID card is shown laying on a flat surface in the illustration
below.
