  • Page 35: Intel ® Quickpath Memory Controller

    5500 series and 5600 series processors have an integrated memory controller on its ® package. Each processor produces up to three channels of DDR3 memory. The Intel Memory Controller supports DDR3 800, DDR3 1066, and DDR3 1333 memory technologies. The memory controller supports both Registered DIMMs (RDIMMs) and Unbuffered DIMMs (UDIMMs).

  • Page 36: Ecc Support

    When 4 GB or more of physical memory is installed (physical memory is the memory installed ® as DDR3 DIMMs), the reserved memory is lost. However, the Intel 5500 Series Chipset provides a feature called high-memory reclaim, which allows the BIOS and operating system to remap the lost physical memory into system memory above 4 GB (the system memory is the memory that can be seen by the processor).

  • Page 37: Memory Population Rules

    Intel® Server Board S5500WB TPS Functional Architecture The BIOS will always enable high-memory reclaim if it discovers installed physical memory equal to or greater than 4 GB. For the operating system, the reclaimed memory is recoverable only when it supports and enables the PAE feature in the processor. Most operating systems support this feature.

Make sure the clips at either end of the DIMM socket(s) are pushed outward to the open position (see letter ―A‖ in the figure above). 5. Holding the DIMM by the edges, remove it from its anti-static package.

  • Page 39: Channel-Independent Mode

    Channel mirroring is a RAS feature in which two identical images of memory data are ® maintained, thus providing maximum redundancy. On the Intel 5500 series based Intel server boards, mirroring is achieved across channels. Active channels hold the primary image and the other channels hold the secondary image of the system memory.
