Installing DIMMs d Note Check the Supermicro web site for recommended memory modules Warning Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules to prevent any possible damage Also note that the memory is interleaved to improve performance See step 1 DIMM Installation 1 Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots starting with DIMM1A The memory scheme is interleaved therefore we recommend that you install two modules at a time beginning with DIMM1A DIMM 1B then DIMM2A and DIMM2B 2 Insert each DIMM module vertically into its slot Pay attention to the notch along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the DIMM module incorrectly 3 Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the slot Repeat for all modules See step 1 above Memory Support The C2SBC Q supports up to 8 GB Unbuffered Non ECC DDR2 800 677 MHz in 4 DIMMs Populating DIMM1A DIMM1B and or DIMM2A DIMM2B with memory modules of the same size and of the same type will result in dual channel two way interleaved memory which is faster than the single channel non interleaved memory Notes a SR 1 Due to the OS limitations some operating systems may not show more than 4GB of memory 2 Both Unbuffered ECC and Non ECC memory modules can be installed in the memory slots However the functionality of ECC is not supported by the chipset 3 Due to memory allocation to
