This multichannel architecture provides enhanced performance in Advanced ECC mode. This architecture also enables Online
Spare Memory mode.
DIMM slots in this server are identified by number and by letter. Letters identify the population order. Slot numbers indicate
the DIMM slot ID for spare replacement.

General DIMM slot population guidelines

Observe the following guidelines for DIMM population:
• White DIMM slots denote the first slot of a channel (Ch 1-F, Ch 2-D, Ch 3-B, Ch 4-E, Ch 5-C, Ch 6-A).
• Do not mix RDIMMs and LRDIMMs.
• When single-rank, dual-rank, and quad-rank DIMMs are populated for two DIMMs per channel or three DIMMs per channel,
always populate the higher number rank DIMM first (starting from the farthest slot). For example, first quad-rank DIMM,
then dual-rank DIMM, and then lastly single-rank DIMM.
• DIMMs must be populated starting farthest from the processor on each channel.
• For DIMM spare replacement, install the DIMMs per slot number as instructed by the system software.
