Memory
The Intel
®
Server Board S3000AH provides four DIMM sockets across two banks. Bank
1 consists of DIMM sockets 1A and 1B. Bank 2 consists of DIMM sockets 2A and 2B.
Minimum memory operation is a single 256MB DIMM in socket 1A. This will provide
single-channel interleave. For dual-channel interleave, two identical DIMMs are required
in sockets 1A and 1B.
To operate in dual-channel dynamic paging mode, the following conditions must be met:
• Populate two identical DIMMs in sockets DIMM1A and DIMM 1B.
• Populate four identical DIMMs in each socket location.
Note: The use of three DIMMs is not supported. Use DIMMs that are the same type and speed.
Use of identical DIMMs is preferred.
DIMMs must meet the following requirements:
• Use only DIMMs with DDR2 DRAM technology.
• Use only DDR2-533 and DDR2-667 stacked DIMM modules.
In determining your memory requirements, the need for memory sparing or memory
mirroring must be considered. For a complete list of supported memory DIMMs, see the
links under "Additional Information and Software."
Power Supply
A minimum of 350 Watts is required. Your supply must provide a minimum of 2A of 5V
standby current or the board will not boot.
