DIMM_2B (bank 2). See

Figure 4

. When you install memory modules, follow these guidelines:

l

 

You must install memory modules in matched pairs (bank 1 DIMMs must match; bank 2 DIMMs must match).

NOTE:

Installing a filler bracket over an empty expansion slot is necessary to maintain Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification of

the system. The brackets also keep dust and dirt out of the system and aid in proper cooling and airflow inside the system.

NOTE:

The memory modules must be rated for 266-MHz operation.
