- A rank is defined as an area or block of 64 bits that is created by using
some or all of the chips on a DIMM. For an ECC DIMM, a memory rank is
a block of 72 data bits (64 bits plus 8 ECC bits).
- The minimum memory configuration is two single-rank DIMMs that are
installed in branch 0, DIMM connector 1 (in channel 0) and connector 4 (in
channel 1); however, online-sparing is not supported with this configuration.
- To support online-sparing in branch 0, you must add a second pair of
DIMMs. The spare pair of DIMMs can be single-rank or double-rank and
must be the same speed, type, size (or larger), and technology as the
failed pair of DIMMs. The spare pair must be installed in branch 0, DIMM
connector 2 (in channel 0) and connector 5 (in channel 1). Branch 0 and
branch 1 operate independently.
v The following notes apply when the server operates in non-mirroring mode
(normal mode):
– DIMMs must be installed in matched pairs. If you install a second pair of
DIMMs in DIMM connector 7 and DIMM connector 10, they do not have to be
the same size, speed, type, and technology as the DIMMs in DIMM connector
