Node Interleave – Node based interleaving causes the system to group even
numbers of nodes into one large array. In the case of two-way node
interleaving (2 processors present), every other 128-bit word is stored on a
given node. Four-way node interleaving (four processors present) results in
th
every 4 128-bit word being stored on a given node. Node interleave is not
compatible with Microsoft's SRAT table or Linux NUMA. If enabled in BIOS
setup and if all loaded nodes have the same amount of memory.
Rules for populating memory :
64 bit support: Choose DIMM slots 0 or 2 by themselves or use 0 and 2 together for
every CPU socket that corresponds to those DIMM slots.
128-bit support: Choose DIMM slots 0 and 1 or 2 and 3 or all 4 together for every
CPU socket that corresponds to those DIMM slots.
Refer to the diagram below if there are further questions on how to populate
memory in 64-bit, 128-bit orientations or Bank Interleaving:
