[. . . ] The system does not support a three-DIMM memory configuration. 45 · DIMMs on channel A (DIMM A1 and A2) are paired with DIMMs on channel B (DIMM B1 and B2) to enable two-way interleaving. When only two DIMMs are being used, the population order must be DIMM A1 and DIMM B1 to ensure dual-channel operating mode. For best performance and dual-channel interleave operation, DIMM modules must be installed or removed in matched pairs, following the slot sequence: DIMM A1 and B1 first, then DIMM A2 and B2. Observe the population sequence illustrated in the table below when installing a memory module. Memory channel A A B B DIMM slot DIMM A1 DIMM A2 DIMM B1 DIMM B2 Population order 1 3 2 4 · · · The table below lists the supported memory installation based on the memory interleave configuration.

If necessary, remove any cables that prevent access to the DIMM slots. (1) Press the retaining clips on both sides of the slot outward to release the DIMM. (2) Hold the DIMM by its edges, then gently pull it upward to remove it. 6 7 Store the removed memory module inside an anti-static bag. If you intend to install a new memory module, proceed to the next section for related procedure, otherwise observe the post-installation instructions described on page 30. 47 To install memory module: 1 2 3 4 5 Perform steps 1 through 3 of the previous section. Remove the new memory module from its protective packaging, handling it by the edges. (1) Align the module so that the notch on the slot fits the keyed edge of the module, then press the module at both ends until the retaining clips snap into place. If you insert a module but it does not fit easily into the slot, you have inserted it incorrectly. (2) Make sure to firmly press the retaining clips inward to lock the module in place. If the holding clips do not close, the module is not properly inserted. 6 Observe the post-installation instructions described on page 30. Run the BIOS setup utility to view the new value for total system memory. 48 3 System upgrade Installing an expansion card This section explains how to install an expansion card. Altos G330 Mk2 has five PCI bus slots, namely: · · · · One PCI Express x16 slot with x8 throughput (PCI-E 1 slot) One PCI Express x8 slot with x4 throughput (PCI-E 2 slot) One PCI Express x4 slot with x1 throughput (PCI-E 3 slot) Two 32-bit/33 MHz/3. 3V PCI bus slots (PCI 4, PCI5 slots) 1 slot 3 slot 2 slot 4 5 To install an expansion card: 1 2 3 4 Perform the pre-installation instructions described on page 30. If necessary, remove any cables that prevent access to the expansion slots. Locate an empty expansion slot that is compatible with the specification of the card you intend to install. Store it for future reassembly. 49 Caution: Do not discard the slot cover. If the expansion card is removed in the future, the slot cover must be reinstalled to maintain proper system cooling. 5 6 Remove the expansion card from its protective packaging, handling it by the edges. (2) Insert the lower end of the card bracket latch to its chassis notch. (3) Secure the card bracket latch tab to the chassis. 50 7 8 3 System upgrade Connect the necessary cables to the expansion card as required. When you turn on the system, the BIOS setup automatically detects and assigns resources to the new device (applicable only to Plug-and-Play expansion cards). 51 Installing the BMC module The optional BMC module allows system administrators to manage the Altos G330 Mk2 system remotely over a network.
