v
When
you
install
additional
DIMMs,
be
sure
to
install
them
in
pairs.
All
the
DIMM
pairs
must
be
the
same
size
and
type.
v
The
memory
controller
has
four
fully
buffered
DIMM
channels
that
are
organized
into
two
branches.
Each
branch
has
two
channels,
and
each
channel
controls
two
DIMMs.
DIMMs
that
are
next
to
each
other
(for
example,
in
DIMM
connector
1
and
DIMM
connector
4)
within
the
channels
of
a
branch
must
be
identical
in
size,
type,
speed,
and
technology.
However,
the
DIMMs
in
the
connectors
above
or
below
each
other
within
the
channels
of
a
branch
do
not
have
to
be
identical
(for
example,
the
DIMMs
in
DIMM
connector
1
and
DIMM
connector
2
do
not
have
to
be
identical).
The
following
illustration
shows
how
the
memory
controller
is
organized
into
branches
and
channels
with
two
pairs
of
installed
DIMMs.

The

DIMM
connectors
are
divided
between
the
two
memory
branches.
DIMM

are

and
DIMM
connectors

through
12

on
branch
1.
v
The
server
can
operate
in
two
major
modes:
mirroring
and
non-mirroring
(normal).
The
server
can
also
operate
in
a
single-channel
mode
when
one
DIMM
is
installed.
v
The
server
supports
memory
mirroring
(mirroring
mode)
and
online-spare
memory.
–
Memory
mirroring
replicates
and
stores
data
on
DIMMs
within
two
branches
simultaneously.
You
must
enable
memory
mirroring
through
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program
(see
“Using
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program”
on
page
54).
To
enable
memory
mirroring
in
the
Configuration/Setup
Utility
program,
select
Devices
and
I/O
Ports
→
Advanced
Chipset
Control
→
Memory
Branch
Mode
.
Use
the
arrow
keys
to
change
the
Memory
Branch
Mode
setting
to
Mirror
;
then,
save
your
changes.
When
you
use
memory
mirroring,
consider
the
following
information:
-
The
maximum
available
memory
is
reduced
to
16
GB,
instead
of
the
32
GB
available
in
non-mirroring
mode.
-
The
minimum
memory
configuration
is
four
identical
DIMMs.
You
must
install
identical
pairs
of
fully
buffered,
dual-inline
memory
modules
(DIMMs)
in
all
four
DIMM
connectors
(same
size,
type,
speed,
and
technology).
These
DIMMs
must
span
across
both
branches
and
all
four
channels.
For
example,
when
you
install
the
first
four
DIMMs,
you
must
install
two
DIMMs
in
branch
0
(one
in
channel
0
and
one
in
channel
1)
and
two
DIMMs
in
branch
1
(one
in
channel
2
and
one
in
channel
3).
See
Table
3
on
page
39
for
the
DIMM
installation
sequence.
-
When
you
upgrade
the
server
to
eight
DIMMs,
the
DIMMs
that
are
next
to
each
other
(for
example,
DIMM
connector
1
and
DIMM
connector
4)
within
the
channels
of
a
branch
must
be
identical
in
size,
type,
speed,
and
technology.
