Memory [std. 1 / max.4]
NOTE 1x 1GB DIMM is factory-installed. The memory module available for the GT110b are DDR3-1333(PC3-10600) Unbuffered type with ECC(but memory of Celeron G1101 model, Pentium G6950 model frequency is 1066MHz) Memory extension by one DIMM is possible, but a set of two DIMMs (same capacity) is recommended. (for
2way interleave) If there are different capacity DIMMs, larger capacity DIMMs should be installed in the smaller number slots. For more details about the memory size supported by each OS, please refer to the “Supplementary Notes
<Memory (1)>” at the end of this document.
Additional memory module (1x 1GB) [N8102-342F] Additional memory module (1x 2GB) [N8102-343F] Additional memory module (1x 4GB) [N8102-344F]
UP to four memory modules can be installed.You can expand the memory capacity up to 16GB(4x 4GB) by replacing the standard DIMM.

HDD Connection/RAID Configuration -- Precautions
Case A/F Non RAIDCase B/G On-board RAID (RAID 0/1/10)Case C/H N8103-116A RAID controller (128MB cache) (RAID 0/1/10)Case D/I N8103-109 RAID controller (128MB cache) (RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50)Case E/J N8103-117A RAID controller (128MB cache) (RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50)
RAID configuration For RAID configuration, provide HDDs of same capacity and rotation speed within same group (pack). Also, use
the same rotation speed HDDs in the system. (Refer to the next page for SAS/SATA mix configuration)
Case A/F (Non RAID configuration), Case B/G (On-board RAID) On-board RAID function (LSI Embedded MegaRAID)
RAID calculations utilize the CPU on the motherboard.
Case C/H (N8103-116A RAID controller [LSI MegaRAID]) Insert RAID controller to PCI slot for RAID configuration. RAID calculations utilize the CPU on the RAID
controller. For N8103-119 RAID option of adding the upgrade kit for RAID configuration, please refer to below Case D.
Case D/I(N8103-109 RAID controller [Promise RAID]) Case E/J(N8103-117A RAID controller [LSI MegaRAID])
Insert RAID controller to PCI slot for RAID configuration. RAID calculations utilize the CPU on the RAIDcontroller.
When using RAID controller in Case C/D/E/H/I/J - Precautions The controller is set to “write-through” by default. For higher performance, it is recommended to install an
additional battery and operate in “write-back” mode.For details on how to change settings, refer to the UsersGuide attached to the main unit.
Write Through mode A synchronous write to the hard disk occurs when there is a write to a cache memory.
Write Back mode When there is a write to a cache memory, the completion notification is issued to the software immediately,
while the array controller performs an asynchronous write to the hard disk. In general, the access speed isfaster than write-through mode. An UPS or batteries to backup the data is required.
