This is an embarassingly stupid question but how is the memory meant to
be upgraded in these machines? I replaced the two old DIMMs with two of
what should be similar type;
2 x 2GB 667MHz DDR2 P2-5300 ECC REG with Parity CL5, 240 pin Dual rank.
On boot-up, it says
JS2XBlade Starting
Build Date = Jul 22 2008 17:16:18
FW Version = JX-1.7.0-3
Check ROM = OK
Press "s" to enter Open Firmware.
U4 DDR2 memory controller setup V2.1

I haven't been able to find a motherboard manual to determine if anything
else is required for an upgrade, what the correct type of memory is or if
there is a specific part required.
Thanks
