System Memory

The server board provides four memory channels, each with two slots. Channels A and B with
DIMM A1, A, B1 and B are assigned to processor 1. Channels D and E with DIMM D1, D, E1
and E are assigned to processor . Channels D and E can only be used if processor  is populated.
If two processors are populated, then they can both access the entire memory via Intel
Interconnect (Intel
Within a channel, DIMM 1 must be populated before DIMM  can be used.
DIMM configuration is shown in the following figure.

Available Memory Modules

• 1.5 V DDR DIMMs, registered (RDIMMs) or unbuffered (UDIMMs, with or without ECC)
• Mixing of RDIMMs and UDIMMs is not permitted
• If at least one UDIMM is installed without ECC, the entire memory is operated without ECC.
• The following DIMM and DRAM technologies are supported:
• RDIMMs:
- Single, dual and quad rank
- x4 or x8 DRAM with 1 Gbit and  Gbit technology, no support for  Gbit DRAM-based  GB or
4 GB RDIMMs
- DDR 1 (only single and dual rank), DDR 1066 and DDR 800
• UDIMMs:
- Single and dual rank
