5-5 Installing Memory

Note: Check the Supermicro web site for recommended memory modules.

CAUTION

Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules

to prevent any possible damage. Also note that the memory is inter-

leaved to improve performance (see step 1).

Installing DIMMs

Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with slots

DIMM1A and DIMM2A. The memory scheme is interleaved so you must

install two modules at a time. See step 3 below.

Insert each DIMM module vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the notch

along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the DIMM module incor-

rectly (see Figure 5-5).

Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the slot.

Repeat for all modules (see step 1 above).

Install DIMMs in the following order: DIMM1A and DIMM2A, then DIMM1B

and DIMM2B and ﬁ nally DIMM1C and DIMM2C

Memory Support

The X7DCU supports up to 48 GB of ECC DDR2-667 or DDR2-533 SDRAM. The

memory is an interleaved conﬁ guration, which requires modules of the same size

and speed to be installed in pairs. You should not mix DIMMs of different sizes

and speeds.

Notes: Due to OS limitations, some operating systems may not show more than

4 GB of memory. Due to memory allocation to system devices, memory remain-

ing available for operational use will be reduced when 4 GB of RAM is used. The

reduction in memory availability is disproportional. (Refer to the Memory Availability

Table below for details.)
