Three memory channels are allocated to each processor. The number of
channels used and the allowable configurations depend on the memory mode
selected. The channels are organized as follows:
•
Channel 0 - sockets 3, 6
•
Channel 1 - sockets 2, 5
•
Channel 2 - sockets 1, 4
Sockets A1 through A6 are assigned to CPU1; sockets B1 through B6 are
assigned to CPU2.
Advanced ECC Mode Support – PowerEdge M610/M610x
In this configuration, channels 0 and 1 are combined to form one 128-bit
channel. If a memory error occurs on a given chip, the faulty chip is disabled.
Memory modules must be identical in size, speed, and technology in
corresponding slots.
Memory Mirroring Support – PowerEdge M610/M610x
The system supports memory mirroring if identical memory modules are
installed in channel 0 and channel 1 (memory is not installed in channel 2).
Mirroring must also be enabled in the System Setup program. In a mirrored
configuration, the total available system memory is one-half of the total
installed physical memory.
