0E137a00.book Page 5 Thursday, May 3, 2001 1:36 PM RIMM Installation Guidelines You must install RIMMs in pairs. This means that the RIMM in each socket on one MEC must be the same memory capacity, density, and speed as the corresponding RIMM in the same socket on the other MEC. Also, for either channel A or B of each MEC, if one socket contains a RIMM, then the other socket must contain either another RIMM or a continuity RIMM (CRIMM). As an example, if you install only one pair of RIMMs

As the system boots, it detects the presence of the new RIMMs and automati- cally changes the system configuration information in system setup. NOTES: Adding or removing RIMMs causes the following message to be dis- played at the next system start-up: The amount of system memory has changed. After you replace the cover, if the chassis intrusion option is se
