Installing The Cooling ShroudCAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only performtroubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online ortelephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by yourwarranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.NOTE: For proper seating of the cooling shroud in the system chassis, ensure that the cables inside the system arerouted appropriately.1. Align the tabs on the cooling shroud with the alignment slots on the fan bracket, and the cable retention bracket.2. Lower the cooling shroud into the chassis until firmly seated.3. If applicable, install the full-length full-height expansion card on slot 2 of expansion-card riser 2.4. Close the system.5. Reconnect the system to its electrical outlet and turn the system on, including any attached peripherals.System MemoryYour system supports DDR3 unbuffered ECC DIMMs (UDIMM ECC) and registered DIMMs (RDIMMs). It supports DDR3and DDR3L voltage specifications.NOTE: MT/s indicates DIMM speed in MegaTransfers per second.Memory bus operating frequency can be 1600 MT/s, 1333 MT/s, 1066 MT/s, or 800 MT/s depending on:• DIMM type (UDIMM or RDIMM)• DIMM configuration (number of ranks)• maximum frequency of the DIMMs• number of DIMMs populated per channel• DIMM operating voltage• system profile selected (for example, Performance Optimized, Custom, or Dense Configuration Optimized)• maximum supported DIMM frequency of the processorsThe following table shows the memory populations and operating frequencies for the supported configurations.DIMM Type DIMMsPopulated/ChannelOperating Frequency (in MT/s) Maximum DIMM Rank/Channel1.5 V 1.35 VUDIMM ECC 1 1333, 1066, and 800 1333, 1066 and 800 Dual rank2 1333, 1066, and 800 1066 and 800 Dual rankRDIMM 1 1600, 1333, 1066 and 80013331333, 1066 and 8001066 and 800Dual rankQuad rank2 1333, 1066 and 8001600, 1333, 1066 and 10661066 and 8001066 and 8001333, 1066, and 8001066 and 800Dual rankQuad rankThe system contains 12 memory sockets split into two sets of six sockets, one set per processor. Each six-socket set isorganized into three channels. In each channel, the release levers of the first socket is marked white and the secondblack.41
