Installing Additional Memory
DIMMs
The computer comes with double data rate 3 synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDRS3- SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMSs).
The memory sockets on the system board can be populated with up to four industry-standard DIMMS. These memory sockets are populated with at least one preinstalled DIMM. To achieve the maximum memory support, you can populate the system board with up to 16-GB of memory configured in a high- performing dual channel mode.
DDR3-SDRAM DIMMs
Ro,
ENWW
For proper system operation, the DDR3-SDRAM DIMMs must be: e | industry-standard 240-pin
e | unbuffered non-ECC PC3-8500 DDR3-1066 MHz-compliant or PC3-10600 DDR3-1333 MHz- compliant
&' NOTE: 1333 MHz DIMMS will only run at a speed of 1066 MHz.
o 1.5 volt DDR3-SDRAM DIMMs The DDR3-SDRAM DIMMs must also:
e support CAS latency 7 DDR3 1066 MHz (7-7-7 timing) and CAS latency 9 DDR3 1333 MHz (9-9-9 timing)
e contain the mandatory JEDEC SPD information
In addition, the computer supports:
e | 512-Mbit, 1-Gbit, and 2-Gbit non-ECC memory technologies e | single-sided and double-sided DIMMs
e DIMMSs constructed with x8 and x16 DDR devices; DIMMs constructed with x4 SDRAM are not supported
&” NOTE: The system will not operate properly if you install unsupported DIMMSs.
Installing Additional Memory 13
Populating DIMM Sockets
There are four DIMM sockets on the system board, with two sockets per channel. The sockets are labeled DIMM1, DIMM2, DIMM3, and DIMMA. Sockets DIMM1 and DIMM2 operate in memory channel A. Sockets DIMM3 and DIMMA4 operate in memory channel B.
Figure 2-7 DIMM Socket Locations
Table 2-1 DIMM Socket Locations
Item Description Socket Color 1 DIMM1 socket, Channel A (populate first) Black 2 DIMM2 socket, Channel A (populate third) White 3 DIMM3 socket, Channel B (populate second) White 4 DIMMA4 socket, Channel B (populate fourth) White
NOTE: A DIMM must occupy the black DIMM1 socket. Otherwise, the system will display a POST error message indicating that a memory module must be installed in the wrong socket.
The system will automatically operate in single channel mode, dual channel mode, or flex mode, depending on how the DIMMS are installed.
The system will operate in single channel mode if the DIMM sockets are populated in one channel only.
The system will operate in a higher-performing dual channel mode if the total memory capacity of the DIMMSs in Channel A is equal to the total memory capacity of the DIMMSs in Channel B. The technology and device width can vary between the channels. For example, if Channel A is populated with two 512-MB DIMMs and Channel B is populated with one 1-GB DIMM, the system will operate in dual channel mode.
The system will operate in flex mode if the total memory capacity of the DIMMs in Channel A is not equal to the total memory capacity of the DIMMs in Channel B. In flex mode, the channel populated with the least amount of memory describes the total amount of memory assigned to dual channel and the remainder is assigned to single channel. For optimal speed, the channels should be
balanced so that the largest amount of memory is spread between the two channels. Ifone channel
14 Chapter 2 Hardware Upgrades ENWW
will have more memory than the other, the larger amount should be assigned to Channel A. For example, if you are populating the sockets with one 1-GB DIMM, and three 512-MB DIMMSs, Channel A should be populated with the 1-GB DIMM and one 512-MB DIMM, and Channel B should be populated with the two 512-MB DIMMS. With this configuration, 2-GB will run as dual channel and 512-MB will run as single channel.
e | Inany mode, the maximum operational speed is determined by the slowest DIMM in the system.
Installing DIMMs
À CAUTION: You must disconnect the power cord and wait approximately 30 seconds for the power to drain before adding or removing memory modules. Regardless of the power-on state, voltage is always supplied to the memory modules as long as the computer is plugged into an active AC outlet. Adding or removing memory modules while voltage is present may cause irreparable damage to the memory modules or system board. If you see an LED light on the system board, voltage is still present.
The memory module sockets have gold-plated metal contacts. When upgrading the memory, it is important to use memory modules with gold-plated metal contacts to prevent corrosion and/or oxidation resulting from having incompatible metals in contact with each other.
Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer or optional cards. Before beginning these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal object. For more information, refer to Appendix D, Electrostatic Discharge
on page 51.
When handling a memory module, be careful not to touch any of the contacts. Doing so may damage the module.
1. Remove/disengage any security devices that prohibit opening the computer.
2. Remove all removable media, such as compact discs or USB flash drives, from the computer. 3. Tum offthe computer properly through the operating system, then tum off any external devices. 4
