Note: In rank sparing mode, if any of the installed DIMMs does not meet the
requirements listed above, the system is executed as independent channel mode.
v
Mirrored channel mode: In mirrored channel mode, memory is installed in
pairs. Each DIMM in a pair must be identical in capacity, type, and rank count.
The channels are grouped in pairs with each channel receiving the same data.
One channel is used as a backup of the other, which provides redundancy. The
memory contents on channel 2 are duplicated in channel 3. Channel 1 DIMM
connectors 1, 2, 7, and 8 are not used in mirrored channel mode. The maximum
available memory (with 16 GB DIMMs) is 32 GB for a single microprocessor
system and 64 GB for a dual microprocessor system.
Important: The memory configuration of channel 2 must match that of channel
3. For example, if a 4 GB Dual Rank DIMM is installed into the DIMM connector
3 (channel 2), then a 4 GB Dual Rank DIMM must also be installed into the
DIMM connector 5 (channel 3). Table 2 on page 26 lists each channel and which
DIMM connectors belong to the channel.
The following table shows the order that memory DIMMs are installed to use
mirrored channel mode.
