Memory
(FB-DIMM) Replacement procedure
Note:
The Mac Pro computer has two memory riser cards with a total of 8 memory slots.
On each card, the slots are arranged as two banks of two slots each. The
computer comes with a minimum of 1 GB of memory, installed as a pair of
512 MB fully buffered, dual inline memory modules (FBDIMMs) in two of the DIMM
slots. Additional DIMMs can be installed in the open DIMM slots,
as illustrated below.
DIMMs must be installed in pairs of equal size from the same vendor. In the illustration below, DIMMs in one colored pair do not need to match DIMMs in a different colored pair.

DIMMs
for Mac Pro must fit these specifications:
72-bit wide, 240-pin modules
36 devices maximum per DIMM
Error-correcting code (ECC)
Memory from older Macintosh computers is not compatible with Mac Pro.
Important: For proper operation of Mac Pro computers, Apple recommends using only Appleapproved Mac Pro FB-DIMMs. Refer to GSX for Apple FB-DIMMs service part numbers.
