Memory module
The following notes describe the types of dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) that
the server supports and other information that you must consider when you install
DIMMs:
v The server supports 667 MHz, 1.8 V, 240-pin, PC2-5300 double-data-rate (DDR)
II, fully buffered synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) with
error correcting code (ECC) DIMMs. These DIMMs must be compatible with the
latest 5300 SDRAM Fully Buffered DIMM (FBD) specification. For a list of
supported optional devices for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/
eserver/serverproven/compat/us/.
