Memory module installation rules

Your server has eight memory slots for installing or replacing DDR3 SDRAM DIMMs that provide up to a
maximum of 64 GB of system memory.

The following tables provide information about the memory module installation rules that you should
consider when installing a memory module. The “X” mark indicates the suggested memory slot(s) into
which the memory module(s) should be installed in different situations. The number, for example 1, 2, or 3,
indicates the installation sequence. See “Locating parts on the system board” on page 16 to identify the
various memory slots.

Note: All memory module types and capacities must be consistent.

Note: Installing DIMMs on channel A and channel B of CPU0 should enable Channel Mirroring Mode. This mode
requires that you install the DIMMs in pair, and the DIMM installation for Channel Mirroring Mode is one DIMM on
CPU0 DIMM CHA0 and one DIMM on CPU0 DIMM CHB0 when a single microprocessor (CPU0) is installed.

Note: For the Channel Mirroring Mode, it requires that you install the DIMMs in pair, and the DIMM installation for
Channel Mirroring Mode when two microprocessors (CPU0 and CPU1) are installed is shown below. Follow this
sequence rather than the sequence listed above if you want to use the Channel Mirroring Mode.

1. Pair 1: install a DIMM on CPU0 DIMM CHA0 and then install a DIMM on CPU0 DIMM CHB0.

2. Pair 2: install a DIMM on CPU1 DIMM CHA0 and then install a DIMM on CPU1 DIMM CHB0.

Installing a memory module

Attention: Do not open your server or attempt any repair before reading and understanding the “Safety information”
on page iii
and “Guidelines” on page 19.

This section provides instructions on how to install a memory module.

To install a memory module, do the following:

1. Remove all media from the drives and turn off all attached devices and the server. Then, disconnect all

power cords from electrical outlets and disconnect all cables that are connected to the server.
