PCI-X slot

Power cable

8.

Connect

the

riser-card

power

cable

to

the

PCI-X

riser-card

assembly.

If

you

have

to

remove

the

PCI-X

riser-card

assembly

from

the

server,

disconnect

the

riser-card

power

cable

from

the

assembly

first;

then,

grasp

the

front

and

rear

edges

of

the

assembly

and

lift

the

assembly

out

of

the

server.

If

you

have

other

devices

to

install

or

remove,

do

so

now.

Otherwise,

go

to

“Completing

the

installation”

on

page

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

The

server

supports

512

MB,

1

GB,

and

2

GB

DIMMs,

for

a

maximum

of

8

GB

of

system

memory.

See

http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/

us/

for

a

list

of

memory

modules

that

you

can

use

with

the

server.

v

The

amount

of

usable

memory

will

be

reduced

depending

on

the

system

configuration.

A

certain

amount

of

memory

must

be

reserved

for

system

resources.

Use

the

system

summary

in

the

Configuration/Setup

Utility

program

to

view

the

total

amount

of

installed

memory

and

the

amount

of

configured

memory

(see

“Using

the

Configuration/Setup

Utility

program”

on

page

44).

v

The

server

comes

with

one

512

MB

or

1

GB

DIMM

installed

in

DIMM

connector

1

and

an

identical

DIMM

(the

same

size,

speed,

type,

and

technology)

installed

in

DIMM

connector

3.

v

If

you

install

a

pair

of

DIMMs

in

DIMM

connectors

2

and

4,

the

size,

speed,

type,

and

technology

of

the

DIMMs

that

you

install

in

DIMM

connectors

2

and

4

must

match

each

other.

However,

they

do

not

have

to

be

the

same

size,

speed,

type,

and

technology

as

the

DIMMs

that

are

installed

in

DIMM

connectors

1

and

3.

v

You

can

use

compatible

DIMMs

from

various

manufacturers

in

the

same

pair.

v

Install

only

double-data-rate

II

(DDR

II),

PC2-5300,

unbuffered

synchronous

dynamic

random-access

memory

(SDRAM)

with

error

correcting

code

(ECC)

DIMMs.

These

DIMMs

must

be

compatible

with

the

latest

PC2-5300

SDRAM

unbuffered

DIMM

specification.

v

If

you

install

a

pair

of

2

GB

DIMMs

and

a

pair

of

other-size

DIMMs,

the

2

GB

DIMMs

must

be

installed

as

the

first

pair

(in

DIMM

connectors

1

and

3).
