[. . . ] See the documentation that accompanied your server chassis for instructions on removing the server's cover. Unplug the processor fan cable from the server board. Loosen the four captive screws on the corners of the heat sink. Twist the heat sink slightly to break the seal between the heat sink and the processor. If it does not pull up easily, twist the heat sink again. Do not force the heat sink from the processor. Lift the processor lever. 5 6 7 8 9 10 Remove the processor. If installing a replacement processor, see "Installing the Processor. " Otherwise, reinstall the chassis cover. 87 Memory Installations and Upgrade Upgrading the system memory This section includes instructions for removing and installing a memory module. The Altos R510 provides six DDR333 DIMM sites in two DIMM channels. DIMMs 1A, 2A and 3A are connected to memory channel A. DIMM 1B, 2B and 3B are connected to memory channel B. The maximum memory capacity is 12GB DDR333 memory. Memory DIMM technologies supported are: 512MB, 1 GB and 2 GB.

However, for optimum performance and dual-channel interleave operation, a minimum of two DIMMs should be installed. DIMMs on channel A are paired with DIMMs on channel B to configure 2-way interleaving. Both DIMM1B and DIMM1A must be populated before any DIMMs are installed. DIMM2B and DIMM2A must be populated in pairs. DIMM3B and DIMM3A must be populated in pairs. Both DIMMs in a bank must be identical (same manufacturer, CAS latency, number of rows, columns and devices, timing parameters etc. ). Although DIMMs within a bank must be identical, the BIOS supports various DIMM sizes and configurations allowing the banks of memory to be different. Note: Dual-channel memory requires symmetrical memory modules using the same density (e. g. 256M-bit, 512M-bit) 89 Memory Sparing To provide a more fault tolerant system, the Altos R510 includes specialized hardware to support fail-over to a spare DIMM device in the event that a primary DIMM in use exceeds a specified threshold of runtime errors. One of the DIMMs installed per channel will not be used, but kept in reserve. [. . . ] Press <F9> to load BIOS default setting and press <F10> save the configuration changes and exit setup.
