Lockstep memory mode
This topic describes the lockstep memory mode and the DIMM population sequence.
Lockstep memory mode supports the memory mirroring and memory rank sparing features. When you use
lockstep memory mode, consider the following:
• Lockstep memory mode provides the best memory RAS features.
• DIMMs must be installed in pairs across the memory channels (two DIMMs in each memory channel),
alternating between the DDR3 or DDR4 channels.
• Each pair of DIMMs in the DDR3 or DDR4 channels must be populated with identical DIMMs. That is, the
DIMMs must be identical in size, organization, etc.. For example, the DIMMs in slots 9 (DDR3 or DDR4
channel 0) and 15 (DDR3 channel 1) must be identical.
• The memory channel operates at the DDR3 or DDR4 channel transfer rate.
• The amount of memory installed in lockstep memory mode is the amount of memory that is available for
use.
For more information about the DIMM population sequence for lockstep memory mode, see “Memory
mirroring in lockstep mode” on page 58 and “Memory rank sparing in lockstep mode” on page 59. For more
information and notes about installing DIMMs, see “Installing a memory module” on page 46..
The following table lists the DIMM installation sequence for lockstep memory mode:
