Netfinity 1000 - Memory modules
Applicable to: World-Wide
Memory modules
Adding system memory to the server can make programs run faster. You can increase the amount of system memory by installing options called memory modules.
The maximum amount of system memory the server supports is 384 MB of unbuffered memory, or 768 MB of registered memory. You can add memory to the server to increase system performance. The server has three connectors for installing system-memory modules.
Attention
You cannot mix registered and unbuffered DIMMs in your server. To use registered DIMMs, you must
remove all unbuffered DIMMs from your server.
Note
The following illustration is for reference only. Before you install memory, be sure to check the orientation of
the server system board for the correct connector locations.
To locate the memory connectors on the system board, see System board illustration .
The memory modules that the server uses are dual-inline memory modules (DIMMs). The DIMMs that come with the server are unbuffered synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) with error checking and correction (ECC). These memory modules have a speed of 100 MHz. You can add extra memory modules or replace existing memory modules.
When installing or replacing DIMMs, follow these guidelines:
Memory configuration: When you are adding or removing memory, install the DIMMs with greater memory
capacity starting with the connector closest to the edge of the system board (DIMM 2).
Table 5 and Table 6 show some of the possible memory configurations for the server. The contents of these tables and additional information can be found on a label located inside the server. Alternative configurations are possible.

Installing or removing memory modules:
This section gives the procedure for installing memory modules. If you want to remove a memory module,
reverse the order of the following steps.
Before you begin:
Notes
1. When you are removing a memory module, be careful not to push too hard on the retaining clips because the memory module might abruptly eject from the connector.
2. Each memory connector contains two keys (dividers), which are used to assure that a memory-module can be installed only in the correct position.
3. A retaining clip at each end of the connector locks the memory module into place.
4. For information about memory configuration, see Table 5 above.
To install a DIMM:
1. Remove the server side cover (see Disconnecting cables and removing the side cover).
2. Locate the memory connectors on the system board. See the illustration at the beginning of this section.
3. Be sure that the retaining clips are in the open position, as shown in the following right-hand illustration. If the retaining clips are perpendicular to the connector, push outward on them until they click open.
Note |
7. To install another DIMM, repeat steps 3 through 6.
8. If you want to install or remove any other options, do so now. Otherwise, go to Completing the
installation .
