ClearCube A1410 User manual

Quick Start Guide
ClearCube Technology 8834 Capital of Texas Hwy N Austin, Texas 78759 voice 512 652 3500 www.clearcube.com
The A1410 PC blade uses the Intel® Q965 Express chipset
and supports DDR2 800, DDR2 667, and DDR2 533 MHz
DIMMs for the following memory maximums:
•8 GB system memory—using DDR2 667 or 533
DIMMs
•4 GB system memory—using DDR2 800 DIMMs
For optimum compatibility, always use memory modules
that ClearCube supplies.
Memory Configurations
The A1410 contains four memory sockets that accept 240-
pin DDR2 SDRAM. A1410 memory sockets are color-coded:
•Blue sockets—DIMM 0
•Black sockets—DIMM 1
Memory is organized in two pairs of sockets and can operate
in Interleaved, Asymmetric, or Flex modes depending on the
memory capacity and channel configuration that you use.
•Dual channel (Interleaved) mode—Offers highest
throughput. Dual channel mode is enabled when the
DIMMs installed in both channels are equal in density,
speed, and latency (using DIMMs from the same
manufacturer helps to ensure that you are using matching
DIMMs). If channels A and B contain DIMMs of
different speeds, the slowest speed is used.
•Single channel (Asymmetric) mode—Used when a
single DIMM is installed or when multiple DIMMs are
installed and their memory capacities are unequal. If
channels A and B contain DIMMs of different speeds,
the slowest speed is used.
•Flex mode—Offers multiple areas of dual and single
channel operation over the entire DRAM memory. In
flex mode:
– Memory lowest in the system memory map operates
in dual channel mode
– Memory nearest the 8 GB address space limit, if any,
operates in single channel mode
You must populate both channels to use flex mode.

capacity of channel A matches memory
capacity of channel B.
Two DIMMs—DIMM 0 (blue socket)
with matching DIMMs.
Four DIMMs—Combined memory capacity of both
channels match. DIMMs match in both channels.
One DIMM—DIMM 0 (blue socket) with
one DIMM. Channel B is unpopulated.
Three DIMMs—Combined memory
capacity of both channels does not match.
Three DIMMs—Half of 2 GB DIMM operates in
dual-channel mode with 1 GB DIMM. Other half of
2 GB DIMM operates in single-channel mode.

Removing and Installing Memory
Removing Memory
1. Remove the blade from the chassis.
2. Place the blade on a flat surface. Remove the three 6-32 screws on the top
cover and remove the top cover.
3. Pull the latches on the sides of the memory socket away from the DIMM to
pop the DIMM out of the socket.
4. Hold the DIMM by the edges and remove it from the socket. Store the
DIMM according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
You can now install new memory.
Installing Memory
To ensure memory compatibility, use only ClearCube-supplied memory.
Note: In any memory configuration, DIMM 0 of channel A must be populated.
1. Ensure that memory is removed as described above.
2. Ensure that the latches on the sides of the memory socket are pushed
outward, away from the socket.
3. Hold the DIMM by the edges and gently insert the DIMM into the socket.
Gently press down on the top edge of the DIMM until it snaps into place and
is fully seated. Ensure that the latches are engaged with the cutouts on the
sides of the DIMM.
4. Replace the top cover and replace the three 6-32 screws.
You can now return the blade to the A3100 chassis. See A–Series Setup and
Installation Guide for more information about the A1410 blade.
