Unbuffered DIMMs (UDIMMs)
The following notes provide information that you must configure when you install UDIMMs:
v The memory channels run at the fastest common frequency of the DIMMs installed.
v Do not use both UDIMMs and RDIMMs in the same server.
v Using ECC and non-ECC UDIMMs in the server will cause the server to run in non-ECC mode.
v The UDIMM options that are available for the server are 1 GB, 2 GB, and 4 GB (when available)
DIMMs.
v You can install a maximum of 16 GB of memory in some server models when you use UDIMMs.
v The server supports up to two single-rank or dual-rank UDIMMs per channel.
v DIMM slots 3 and 6 are not supported when you install UDIMMs in the server. Do not install DIMMs
in these connectors.
v The following table lists the supported UDIMM population.
