24 Intel Server Compute Blade SBX82 Installation and User’s Guide
• When you install memory, you must install a pair of matched DIMMs.
• Both DIMMs in a pair must be the same size, speed, type, and technology. You can mix
compatible DIMMs from various manufacturers.
• The second pair does not have to be DIMMs of the same size, speed, type, and technology as the
first pair.
• Install only 1.8 V, 240-pin, DDR2, PC3200, registered SDRAM with ECC DIMMs. These
DIMMs must be compatible with the latest PC3200 SDRAM Registered DIMM specification,
which is available from http://www.jedec.org/. For a current list of supported DIMMs for your
blade server, see the SBX82 Memory Qualification List.
• Installing or removing DIMMs changes the configuration information for the blade server.
Therefore, after installing or removing a DIMM, you must change and save the new
configuration information by using the Configuration/Setup Utility program. When you restart
the blade server, it displays a message indicating that the memory configuration has changed.
Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and select Save Settings. See
“Configuration/Setup Utility menu choices” on page 49 for more information.
Figure 9 shows how to install DIMMs on the system board for the blade server.
Figure 9. Installing DIMMS.
Before you begin, read the documentation that comes with the DIMMs.
Complete the following steps to install a DIMM:
1. Read the safety information beginning on page “Safety” on page vii and “Installation
guidelines” on page 19.
2. Shut down the operating system, turn off the blade server, and remove the blade server from the
SBCE unit (see “Installing and removing the blade server from the SBCE unit” on page 20 for
instructions).
3. Carefully lay the blade server on a flat, non-conductive surface.
4. Open the blade server cover (see “Opening the blade server cover” on page 20 for instructions).
5. Locate the DIMM connectors on the system board. Determine the connectors into which you
will install the DIMMs.
