NOTE:

Minimum one memory kit must be installed.

To install by double of memory kit is recommended in order to increase memory transfer speed by the dual-channel symmetric configuration.

Actual memory speed drops to 1066 MHz when you choose Pentium or Celeron Processor.



Maximum Available Memory

See the table below for the maximum memory size that you can actually use on your system.

The maximum available memory is less than the maximum physical memory supported by your system because some chipsets require PCI resource space of about 750MB. PCI resource requirements vary depending on the type and the number of PCI cards you are using.

4.1 RAID Configuration

Refer to the section in accordance with your disk form factor and RAID configuration.

4.1.1 3.5-inch Drive

NOTE:

Embedded SATA RAID controller is supported only on Windows operating systems. An optional RAID controller is required to configure RAID array for other operating systems.

Embedded SATA RAID Controller does not support RAID 10 configured with 2TB and 3TB HDDs.

All hard drives within a RAID array should be of the same capacity.

4.1.2 2.5-inch Drive

NOTE:


Mixing SAS and SATA hard drives in the same system is not supported.

All hard drives within a drive cage should be of the same rotational speed.
