Installing memory
Memory installation guidelines are as follows:
• Use only registered ECC DDR2 533-/667-MHz DIMMs
• Install DIMMs in identical pairs for best performance
• A single DIMM can be installed in DIMM slot 1A or 2A.
• Slot 5C and 6C can not be populated with a configuration
using four dual-rank DIMMs.

To access DIMM slots, remove the air baffle as shown previously.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to DIMMs, always use an
anti-static wrist strap and grounding mat, and discharge
static electricity before touching DIMMs.
If a DIMM does not fit completely or easily into the socket, remove
the DIMM, reverse the orientation, and reinsert.

Installing a processor
This system supports Intel Xeon Dual Core 5200 series processors
and Intel Xeon Quad Core 5400 series processors. For a 2P system,
both processors must be of the same type. To access the processor
sockets, remove the air baffle as shown previously.
NOTE: When installing the processor, ensure that pin 1
of the processor is aligned with pin 1 of the socket.
