Chapter 3: Setup and Installation
3-4 Onboard Battery Installation
A battery is included on the mainboard to supply certain volatile memory components
with power when power has been removed from the blade module. If this battery dies, it
must be replaced with an equivalent CR2032 Lithium 3V battery. Dispose of used
batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions. See
Figure 3-3 for a diagram of
installing a new Onboard battery.
Caution: There is a danger of explosion if the Onboard battery is installed upside down,
which reverses its polarities.
Figure 3-3. Installing the Onboard Battery
3-5 Memory Installation
The mainboard of each blade unit must be populated with DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory
Modules) to provide system memory.
The DIMMs should all be of the same size and
speed and from the same Supermicro authorized manufacturer due to
compatibility issues.
See details below on supported memory and our website
( www.supermicro.com/products/superblade for recommended memory.
Populating Memory Slots
Each node’s mainboard of a SBI-6419P-C3N blade module has twelve (12) memory
slots, twelve for each processor. Both interleaved and non-interleaved memory are
supported, so you may populate any number of DIMM slots. For information on memory
parameters and population, see
Table 3-1 , Table 3-3 , Table 3-4 , Table 3-5 , Table 3-6
and Table 3-7 .
Total memory capacity for the module is 1.5 TB for RDIMM/3DS LRDIMM. See
Table 3-1 for information on supported memory types.
For better performance and capacity consistency please use the same DIMM size and
the same DIMM speed. By doing this you will avoid the issue of memory down speed to
the lower speed DIMM, in case of any DIMMs' speed disparity. This also allows
readiness for Memory RAS with Spare Rank and Spare DIMM features which required
lock steps.
