Chapter 3: Setup and Installation
Note: Though multiple DIMM memory module types and speeds may be supported, you
need to use DIMM memory modules of the same speed and type.
Note: An “X” in Table 3-1 indicates the memory slot is populated by a DIMM module.
Note: For an optimized memory bandwidth, it is recommended that you populate the
memory modules in sets of four (4) DIMMs for the CPU’s.
DIMM Installation
Caution: Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules to prevent any
possible damage.
Installing DIMM Memory Modules
1. Power down the blade module (see "Powering Down a MicroBlade Module Unit" on
page 3-1).
2. Remove the blade from the enclosure.
3. Remove the air shroud that covers the DIMM slots.
4. Insert each DIMM vertically into its slot, starting with slots A1 and A2. Pay attention
to the notch along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the DIMM
incorrectly (see Figure 3-4).
