Configuration/Setup Utility program assigns the Hot Spare Memory bank
according to your server configuration. If your server has a two-way interleaved
configuration, the Hot Spare Memory bank becomes the DIMMs in connectors D2
and D8. If your server has a four-way interleaved configuration, the Hot Spare
Memory bank becomes the DIMMs in connectors D1, D2, D7, and D8. See the
User's Guide on the IBM xSeries Documentation CD for further details about
enabling the Hot Spare Memory feature.
When you install DIMMs, install them in the order listed in Table 2.
