Memory Overview
The Xserve (Late 2006) has 8 memory slots. The systems come with at least 1 gigabyte (GB) of
memory on two fully-buffered dual inline memory modules (FB-DIMMs). To improve performance
and capacity, you can install additional DIMMs for a total of up to 32 GB of memory. The eight
memory slots are labeled DIMM 1 through DIMM 8.
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
You can use the following memory in the Xserve (Late 2006):
667 MHz DDR2 ECC FB-DIMMs
512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, or 4 GB in matching pairs (optimal, 4 or 8 identical DIMMs)
36 devices per DIMM, maximum
Error-correcting code (ECC)
Important: Apple recommends that you use Apple-approved FB-DIMMS. Other FB-DIMMs might
degrade the performance of the Xserve. DIMMs from older Xserve systems are not compatible
with this Xserve.
Note: Before you purchase DIMMs other than those recommended by Apple, make sure that
the memory manufacturer conforms to the Joint Electronic Device Engineering Council (JEDEC)
