dual-rank, and quad-rank DIMM in the server, install the quad-rank DIMM first in
DIMM connector 8 (for microprocessor 1) or DIMM connector 16 (for
microprocessor 2).
v 1.35V DIMMs are only supported on server models with an Intel Xeon
™
5600
series microprocessor.
v If you install a ServeRAID-M1015 SAS/SATA adapter, make sure at least 2 GB of
memory is installed in the server before you run DSA from a bootable CD.
v Do not install 1.5V DIMMs and 1.35V DIMMs in the same server.
DIMM installation sequence
The server requires at least one DIMM per microprocessor. Depending on the
server models, the server may come with one 2 GB RDIMM or 4 GB RDIMM, or
three 4 GB RDIMMs.
When you install additional DIMMs, install them in the order shown in “DIMM
installation sequence,” to maintain performance.
