The SHG2 server board supports up to six 2.5 V, ECC, DDR 200 or 266-compliant, registered
SDRAM 184-pin gold DIMMs. A wide range of DIMM sizes are supported, including 128 MB,
256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB DIMMs. The minimum supported memory configuration is
256 MB, using two identical 128 MB DIMMs. The maximum configurable memory size is 12 GB
using six 2 GB DIMMs.

The SDRAM interface runs at 200 MHz; however 266 MHz memory can be used. The memory
controller supports 2-way interleaved SDRAM, memory scrubbing, single-bit error correction and
multiple-bit error detection with Chipkill capability that allows the system to continue to run even
in the event of a multi-bit SDRAM failure. Memory can be implemented with either single-sided
(one row) or double-sided (two row) DIMMs.

NOTE

Use DIMMs that have been tested for compatibility with the server board.
Contact your sales representative or dealer for a current list of approved
memory modules. Check the Intel Customer Support website for the latest
