Equipping rules
The 6 slots for each CPU for the main memory are divided into two banks (bank
1 and bank 2) with 3 channels each (A, B and C).
Figure 12: Equipping the main memory in the different modes
Independent Channel Mode
–
Allows all channels to be equipped in any order.
–
Works with DIMMs of different clock frequencies and sets them at the lowest
frequency.
–
Works with both UDIMM memory modules and RDIMM memory modules.
Mirrored Channel Mode
–
Requires identical modules on channels A & B (1st CPU) and on C & D (2nd
CPU).
–
Half of the capacity is used for mirroring – the available memory for applica-
tions amounts to just half of the installed memory.
–
Channel C (1st CPU) or channel F (2nd CPU) are not available in this mode.
–
RDIMM memory modules are supported.
