System Memory
You can upgrade your system memory to a maximum of 32 GB by installing 533-MHz or 667-MHz fully
buffered (FB) DDR II memory modules (DIMMs) in sets of 256-MB, 512-MB, 1-GB, 2-GB, or 4-GB modules.
The eight memory sockets are located on the system board under the memory cooling shroud.You can purchase
memory upgrade kits from Dell.
NOTICE: If you remove your original memory modules from the system during a memory upgrade, keep them
separate from any new memory modules that you may have, even if you purchased the new memory modules from
Dell. Use only 533-MHz or 667-MHz DDR II fully buffered DIMMS (FBDs).
The memory module sockets are divided into two equal branches (0 and 1). Each branch consists of two
channels:
• Channel 0 and channel 1 are in branch 0.
• Channel 2 and channel 3 are in branch 1.
Installing System Components 63
Each channel consists of two memory module sockets:
• Channel 0 contains DIMM_1, DIMM_5.
• Channel 1 contains DIMM _2, DIMM_6.
• Channel 2 contains DIMM_3, DIMM_7.
• Channel 3 contains DIMM _4, DIMM _8.
The first DIMM socket of each channel has white release tabs.
General Memory Module Installation Guidelines
To ensure optimal performance of your system, observe the following guidelines when configuring your
system memory.
• Use only qualified FBDs. FBDs can be either s
ingle-ranked
or d
ual-ranked
. FBDs m
arked with a 1R are
single
-r
anked and modules marked with a 2R are dual
-r
anked.
• A minimum of two identical FBDs must be installed.
• DIMM sockets must be populated by lowest number first.
• Memory modules m
ust be installed in pairs of matched memory size, speed, and technology
, and the
total number of memory modules in the configuration must total two, four, or eight. For best system
performance, all four, or eight memory modules should be identical in size, speed, and technology.
•Memory sp
aring and
memory m
irroring require
e
ight memory, and all memory modules must be of
identical memory size, speed, and technology.
• Memory sparing and memory mirroring cannot be implemented at the same time.
Non-Optimal Memory Configurations
System performance can be affected if your memory configuration does not conform to the preceding
installation guidelines. Your system may issue an error message during startup stating that your memory
configuration is non-optimal.
Memory Sparing Support
The system supports memory sparing if eight identical memory modules are installed in the system. The
memory sparing feature must be enabled in the System Setup program and can be used only if memory
mirroring is not enabled.(See "Using the System Setup Program" on page 31.)
Memory sparing allocates four ranks of DIMM memory to the spare bank. These four ranks consist of the
first rank of memory in DIMM sockets 1 through 4. For single-rank DIMMs, the entire capacity of the four
DIMMs is allocated to sparing whereas for dual-rank DIMMs, only half of the four-DIMM capacity is
allocated to sparing. Table 3-1 shows how memory sparing splits the available and spared memory in each
of the single- and dual-ranked memory module combinations.
64 Installing System Components
Table 3-1. Memory Sparing Configurations
DIMMs Size/Type Total Memory Available Spare
8 256-MB single-rank 2 GB 1 GB 1 GB
512-MB single-rank 4 GB 2 GB 2 GB
1-GB single-rank 8 GB 4 GB 4 GB
2-GB single-rank 16 GB 8 GB 8 GB
2-GB dual-rank 16 GB 12 GB 4 GB
4-GB dual-rank 32 GB 24 GB 8 GB
Memory Mirroring Support
The system supports memory mirroring if eight identical memory modules are installed in the system.
Mirroring must be enabled in the System Setup program and can be used only if memory sparing is not enabled.
(See "Using the System Setup Program" on page 31.) In a mirrored configuration, the total available system
memory is one-half of the total installed memory.

74 Installing System Components
Hard Drives
This subsection describes how to install and configure SAS or SATA hard drives in the system's internal
hard-drive bays.
Your system features the option of two 3.5-inch (SAS/SATA) internal hard-drive bays or four
2.5-inch (SAS only) internal hard-drive bays that accommodate up to either two or four hard drives. All drives
connect to the system board through one of two optional backplane boards.
NOTE: Depending on the hard drive configuration you ordered, your hard drive(s) may come with a drive
interposer that allows your SATA drive to attach to the SAS connector on the backplane.
Before You Begin
Hard drives are supplied in special hot-pluggable drive carriers that fit in the hard-drive bays. Depending on
your configuration, you received one of the following two drive carrier types:
• SATA drive carrier — Usable only with a SATA hard drive.
• SATAu drive carrier — Usable with either a SAS hard drive or a SATA hard drive with a universal
interposer card. The interposer card provides enhanced functionality that makes the SATA hard drive
usable in some storage systems.
NOTICE: Before you attempt to remove or install a drive while the system is running, see the documentation for
the optional SAS RAID daughter card to ensure that the host adapter is configured correctly to support hot-
pluggable drive removal and insertion.
NOTE: It is recommended that you use only drives that have been tested and approved for use with the SAS
backplane board.
You may need to use different programs than those provided with the operating system to partition and format
SAS or SATA hard drives.
NOTICE: Do not turn off or reboot your system while the drive is being formatted. Doing so can cause a drive
failure.
When you format a high-capacity hard drive, allow enough time for the formatting to be completed. Long
format times for these drives are normal. A 9-GB hard drive, for example, can take up to 2.5 hours to format.
Removing a Drive Blank
NOTICE: To maintain proper system cooling, all empty hard-drive bays must have drive blanks installed. If you
remove a hard-drive carrier from the system and do not reinstall it, you must replace the carrier with a drive blank.
The process for removing a drive blank depends on whether your system is configured with 3.5-inch or 2.5-
inch hard drives.
For 3.5-inch hard drive configurations:
1
Remove the front bezel, if attached. See "Removing and Replacing the Front Bezel" on page 45.
2
Insert your finger under the shrouded end of the blank and press in on the latch to eject the blank outward
from the bay.
3
Pry the ends of the blank outward until the blank is free.
Installing System Components 75
For 2.5-inch hard drive configurations, remove the blank as you would the 2.5-inch hard drive carrier:
1 Remove the front bezel, if attached. See
"Replacing the System Battery" on page 86
.
2 Open the drive blank release handle to release the blank. See
Figure 3-18
.
3
Slide the drive blank out until it is free of the drive bay.
Installing a Drive Blank
The process for installing a drive blank depends on whether your system is configured with 3.5-inch or 2.5-
inch hard drives.
For 3.5-inch hard drive configurations, the drive blank is keyed to ensure correct insertion into the drive bay.
To install a 3.5-inch drive blank, insert the blank into the drive bay rotating in with the key side first, and
press evenly on the ends of the blank until it is fully inserted and latched.
For 2.5-inch hard drive configurations, install the hard drive blank as a 2.5-inch hard drive carrier:
1 Remove the front bezel, if attached. See
"Removing and Replacing the Front Bezel" on page 45
.
2
Open the handle on the hard-drive blank.
3
Insert the hard-drive blank into the drive bay until it is fully seated.
4
Close the handle to lock the blank in place.
5 Replace the front bezel, if it was removed in
step 1.
Installing a Hot-Plug Hard Drive
NOTICE: When installing a hard drive, ensure that the adjacent drives are fully installed. Inserting a hard-drive
carrier and attempting to lock its handle next to a partially installed carrier can damage the partially installed
carrier's shield spring and make it unusable.
NOTICE: Not all operating systems support hot-plug drive installation. See the documentation supplied with
your operating system.
