Memory rank sparing
The memory rank sparing feature disables the failed memory from the system
configuration and activates a rank sparing DIMM to replace the failed active DIMM.
You can enable rank sparing memory in the Setup utility, select
System Settings
→
Memory . For more information, see “Using the Setup utility” on page 145. When
you use the memory rank sparing feature, consider the following information:
v
The memory rank sparing feature is supported on server models with an Intel
Xeon
™
5600 series microprocessor.
v The maximum available memory is reduced when memory rank sparing mode is
enabled.
The following diagram lists the DIMM connectors on each memory channel.
Follow the installation sequence for rank sparing mode:
v Install at least one quad-rank DIMM in a channel.
v
Install at least two single-rank or dual-rank DIMMs in a channel.
You can install DIMMs for the microprocessor 2 once the microprocessor 2 is
installed. You do not need to wait until all of the DIMM connectors for
microprocessor 1 are filled. The following table shows the installation sequence for
memory rank sparing mode:

Note: DIMM connectors 3, 6, 7, 10, 15, 18, 19, and 22 are not used in memory rank
sparing mode when UDIMMs are installed in the server.
