  • Page 60: Memory Subsystem Architecture

    Dual-rank DIMMs provide the greatest capacity with the existing memory technology. For example, if current DRAM technology supports 2-GB single-rank DIMMs, a dual-rank DIMM would be 4 GB. Memory subsystem architecture The memory subsystem in this server is divided into channels. Each processor supports three channels, and each channel supports two DIMM slots.

  • Page 61: Memory Population Guidelines

    Advanced ECC provides additional protection over Standard ECC because it is possible to correct certain memory errors that would otherwise be uncorrected and result in a server failure. Using HP Advanced Memory Error Detection technology, the server provides notification when a DIMM is degrading and has a higher probability of uncorrectable memory error.

  • Page 62: Advanced Ecc Population Guidelines

    For detailed memory configuration rules and guidelines, use the Online DDR3 Memory Configuration Tool on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/ddr3memory-configurator). Advanced ECC population guidelines For Advanced ECC mode configurations, observe the following guidelines: • Observe the general DIMM slot population guidelines. •...

  • Page 63: Installing A Dimm

    • Each channel can have a different valid online spare configuration. • Each populated channel must have a spare rank: A single dual-rank DIMM is not a valid configuration. LRDIMMs are treated as dual-rank DIMMs. Installing a DIMM Power down the server (on page 18). Remove all power: Disconnect each power cord from the power source.
