DIMM Installation
Warning: Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules to prevent
any possible damage.
Installing & Removing DIMMs
1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with
P1-DIMMA1. (For best performance, please use the memory modules of the same
type and speed in the same bank.)
2. Push the release tabs outwards on both ends of the DIMM slot to unlock it.
3. Align the key of the DIMM module with the receptive point on the memory slot.
4. Align the notches on both ends of the module against the receptive points on the
ends of the slot.
5. Use two thumbs together to press the notches on both ends of the module straight
down into the slot until the module snaps into place.
6. Press the release tabs to the locking positions to secure the DIMM module into the
slot.
Note: Check Supermicro's website for recommended memory modules.
Removing Memory Modules
Press the release tabs on both ends of the memory module to unlock it. Once it is
loosened, remove the DIMM module from the memory slot.
