Figure 2-7 Memory placement for the p5-520 and p5-520Q servers
2.3.1 Memory placement rules
Table 2-2 lists the memory features that are available at the time of writing for the p5-520 and
p5-520Q servers.
Table 2-2 Available memory features
Memory can be pluggable in pairs or quads, as required by the total memory requirement.
Memory feature numbers might be mixed within a system. The DIMMs slots are accessed by
first removing the PCI riser book.
When additional memory is added to a system using FC 1930, an additional feature, FC
1930, must be added to the original pair to make a quad, allowing one additional quad to be
added to the system. Memory is installed in the first quad in the following order: J2A, J0A,
J2C, and J0C; and for the second quad, in the order J2B, J0B, J2D, and J0D. Memory must
be balanced across the DIMM quad slots. The Service Information label, located on the top
cover of the system, provides memory DIMMs slot location information.
