Before You Begin
Keep these points in mind when installing a memory
option or replacing a memory module:
•

•

The two modules in a memory option must be
the same capacity. However, the options within
a system box can be a mix of capacities.
Memory options are installed in specific slots
designated for each option.

Open the System Cabinet

Both DIMMs in a bank must be the same
capacity;
it is recommended that they be from the same
manufacturer.

shown in Figure 3, and as shown on the text on
the motherboard.
