Table note:
DIMM connectors 3, 6, 7, 10, 15, 18, 19, and 22 are not used in memory
mirrored channel mode when UDIMMs are installed in the server.
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 106.
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.
