   WHAT ACTION DOES THE FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR NEED TO TAKE?:

There are four memory module sockets per processor on the server’s system board. Memory is supplied by Sun in paired DIMMS. Ensure that you use the DIMM pairs as supplied and do not mix them.

When you install memory, follow the configuration rules below.

- DIMMs must be identical.
- Install two DIMMs per CPU at a time.
- Maintain an equal amount of memory for each CPU.
- Use a minimum of two matched DIMMs per CPU.
- Do not mix DIMM capacities.

To Remove Memory

1. Turn server power off.

2. Remove the service panel.

3. Locate the correct DIMM socket.
