Lockstep Memory population guidelines
For Lockstep memory mode configurations, observe the following guidelines:
•
Observe the general DIMM slot population guidelines (on page 33 ).
•
DIMM configuration on all channels of a processor must be identical.
•
In multi-processor configurations, each processor must have a valid Lockstep Memory configuration.
•
In multi-processor configurations, each processor may have a different valid Lockstep Memory
configuration.
Population order
For memory configurations with a single processor or multiple processors, populate the DIMM slots in the
following order:
•
LRDIMM: Sequentially in alphabetical order (A through H)
•
RDIMM: Sequentially in alphabetical order (A through H)
•
UDIMM: A through D, sequentially in alphabetical order. Do not populate DIMM slots E through H.
After installing the DIMMs, use RBSU to configure Advanced ECC, online spare, or lockstep memory support.
