Dsimm Configurations - Sun Microsystems SPARC classic Service Manual

11.3.1

DSIMM Configurations

The main logic board contains six DSIMM slots capable of accepting either 1-, 2-, 4-,
or 16-megabyte DSIMMs. The six DSIMM slots are logically grouped into three
memory banks, with two DSIMM slots to a bank. Each slot is labeled 1, 2, or 3 to
indicate its corresponding memory bank.
You can combine different types of DSIMMs in the same system, but you must
observe the following restriction: The two DSIMM slots within each bank must be
identically configured (that is, they should both contain the same type of DSIMM or
else both should be empty).
