Memory module installation order in sparing mode
The sparing mode provides memory redundancy. In this mode, the RAS features are available. For
information about the RAS features, refer to the related section in “Features” on page 8.
Note: All memory modules to be installed must be the same type (LV RDIMM or RDIMM). It is also
recommended that all memory modules have the same frequency, voltage, and number of ranks.
Your server supports rank sparing mode. In rank sparing mode, one rank of a memory module works as the
spare rank for the other ranks on the same channel. The spare rank is not available as system memory. To
enable rank sparing mode, ensure that:
• At least three ranks are available in one channel.
• The capacity of the spare rank must be the same with or larger than the capacity of other ranks within
the same channel.
The following table explains the memory module installation order for servers that have only one
microprocessor (CPU1) installed.
