Memory Configuration Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when you replace or add memory to the computers:
• Use only standard unbuffered memory modules that conform to
non-ECC 240-pin DDR3 SDRAM (PC3-10600) standards.
• Use only DDR3 type memory modules.
• Use only memory modules with gold-plated contacts.
• Always handle a memory module by its edges.
Replace or Add a Memory Module
Follow these steps to replace or add a memory module.
1. Follow the steps for Pre-configuration
on page 36.
2. Remove the computer cover as detailed in Remove the Cover
on page 38.
3. Locate the memory module that you want to replace.
See System Boards
on page 17 for memory location on the motherboards.
4. Remove the selected memory module.
a. Use your thumbs or two fingers to push open the lock levers, which
release the memory module from its slot for easy removal.
See Figure 11 on page 42
.
b. Gently pull out the memory module to remove it from its slot.
c. Place the memory module on a static-dissipating work surface or inside
an antistatic bag.
5. Install the new memory module.
a. Hold the memory module by its edges as you remove it from its
antistatic bag.
b. Orient the module so the notch on its bottom edge aligns with the
keyed surface of the DIMM slot.
See Figure 11 on page 42
.
c. Press the module fully into the slot to engage the lock levers.
See Figure 11 on page 42
.
We recommend that you use only Allen-Bradley approved memory
modules. See http://ab.rockwellautomation.com/Computers
for
qualified replacement parts and accessories.
Use an antistatic wriststrap that is connected to the work surface, and properly
grounded tools and equipment.
To install more memory, go ahead to step 5 of this section.
When you install memory in pairs, install modules in slots 1 and 3 or
slots 2 and 4 for optimal performance.
The keyed surface is off center to assist the correct alignment.
