The following table shows the DIMM population sequence for memory-sparing
mode.
Note: The server does not support a configuration of three microprocessors. The
server supports one, two, or four microprocessors only.

v
The server supports a maximum of 24 DIMMs (single-rank, dual-rank, or
quad-rank) on the base system board. If you mix single-rank, dual-rank, or
quad-rank DIMMs in the server, quad-rank DIMMs must be installed first.
Note: To determine the type of a DIMM, see the label on the DIMM. The
information on the label is in the format xxxxx nRxxx PC3-xxxxx-xx-xx-xxx. The
numeral in the sixth numerical position indicates whether the DIMM is
single-rank (n=1) or dual-rank (n=2).
v
The following tables list the supported combinations of single-rank, dual-rank,
and quad-rank standard registered DIMMs (RDIMMs) and load-reduced DIMMs
(LR-DIMMs) that you can install in the server.
Note: In the following table, the location of the DIMMs in the memory channels
are defined as follows:
Near DIMM: The DIMM in the memory channel that is the closest to the
microprocessor.
Middle DIMM: The middle DIMM in the memory channel.
Far DIMM: The DIMM in the memory channel that is the farthest from the
microprocessor.
