System Memory
Your system supports DDR3 registered DIMMs (RDIMMs) or unbuffered
ECC DIMMs (UDIMMs). Single and dual-rank DIMMs can be 1067- or
1333-MHz, and quad-rank DIMMs can be 1067-MHz.
The system contains 8 memory sockets split into two sets of four sockets, one
set per each processor. Each four-socket set is organized into three channels.
Two DIMMs for channel 0 and a single DIMM for channel 1 and 2. The first
socket of each channel is marked with white release levers.
The maximum memory that is supported on your system varies according to
the types and sizes of memory modules being used:
• Single-rank and dual-rank RDIMMs of sizes 2-GB, 4-GB and 8-GB are
supported for a total of up to 64 GB.
• Quad-rank RDIMMs are supported for a total of up to 64 GB.
• 1-GB and 2-GB UDIMMs are supported for a total of up to 16 GB.
General Memory Module Installation Guidelines
To ensure optimal performance of your system, observe the following general
guidelines when configuring your system memory.
NOTE:
Memory configurations that fail to observe these guidelines can prevent
your system from starting and producing any video output.
• RDIMMs and UDIMMs cannot be mixed.
• Except for memory channels that are unused, all populated memory
channels must have identical configurations.
• In a dual-processor configuration, the memory configuration for each
processor must be identical.
• Memory modules of different sizes can be mixed in A1-A4 or B1-B4
(for example, 2-GB and 4-GB), but all populated channels must have
identical configurations.
• For Optimizer Mode, memory modules are installed in the numeric order
of the sockets beginning with A1 or B1.
