Single-rank and dual-rank DIMMs

DIMM configuration requirements are based on these classifications:
•
Single-rank DIMM—One set of memory chips that is accessed while writing to or reading from the
memory.
•
Dual-rank DIMM—Two single-rank DIMMs on the same module, with only one rank accessible at a time.
The server memory control subsystem selects the proper rank within the DIMM when writing to or reading
from the DIMM.
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 two channels. Each channel supports two DIMM slots.
Channel
1
2
DIMM slots are identified by number and by letter. Letters identify the population order. Slot numbers are
reported by ROM messages during boot and are used for error reporting.
For the DIMM slot locations, see "DIMM slot locations (on page 11)."

ECC memory

The server supports the standard ECC memory correction mode. Standard ECC can correct single-bit memory
errors and detect multibit memory errors. When multibit errors are detected, the error is signaled to the server
and causes the server to halt.
Definition
L = Low voltage (1.35V)
U = Ultra low voltage (1.25V)
Blank or omitted = Standard
12800 = 1600-MT/s
10600 = 1333-MT/s
8500 = 1066-MT/s
R = RDIMM (registered)
E = UDIMM (unbuffered with ECC)
L = LRDIMM (load reduced)
