General DIMM slot population guidelines

Observe the following guidelines for all AMP modes:
•
Install DIMMs only if the corresponding processor is installed.
•
Do not mix LRDIMMs and RDIMMs.
•
White DIMM slots denote the first slot of a channel (Ch 1-A, Ch 2-B, Ch 3-C, Ch 4-D).
•
When only one processor is installed, install DIMMs in sequential alphabetic order: A, B, C, D, E, F,
and so forth.
•
When two processors are installed, install the DIMMs in sequential alphabetical order balanced
between the two processors: P1-A, P2-A, P1-B, P2-B, P1-C, P2-C, and so forth.
•
When single-rank, dual-rank, and quad-rank DIMMs are populated for two DIMMs per channel, always
populate the higher number rank DIMM first (starting from the farthest slot). For example, first quad-rank
DIMM, then dual-rank DIMM, and then lastly single-rank DIMM.
•
DIMMs should be populated starting farthest from the processor on each channel.
For more information about server memory, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/memory).
The DIMM speeds supported in this server are listed in the following table:

Advanced ECC population guidelines

For Advanced ECC mode configurations, observe the following guidelines:
•
Observe the general DIMM slot population guidelines (on page 61).
•
DIMMs may be installed individually.

Online spare population guidelines

For Online Spare memory mode configurations, observe the following guidelines:
•
Observe the general DIMM slot population guidelines (on page 61).
•
Each channel must have a valid online spare configuration.
•
Each channel can have a different valid online spare configuration.
•
Each populated channel must have a spare rank. A single dual-rank DIMM is not a valid configuration.

Mirrored Memory population guidelines

For Mirrored Memory mode configurations, observe the following guidelines:
•
Observe the general DIMM slot population guidelines (on page 61).
•
Always install DIMMs in channels 1 and 2 for each installed processor.
•
Do not install DIMMs in channel 3 for any processor.
