is the reference design file for the design of the DIMM
Note:
To determine the type of a DIMM, see the label on the DIMM. The
information on the label is in the format xxxxx nRxxx PC3-xxxxx-xx-xx-xxx. The
numeral in the sixth numerical position indicates whether the DIMM is single-rank
(n=1) or dual-rank (n=2).
The following sections provide additional information specific to unbuffered DIMMs
that you must consider.
Unbuffered DIMMs (UDIMMs)
The following notes provide information that you must consider when you install
UDIMMs:
v
The memory channels run at the fastest common frequency of the installed
DIMMs.
v
Using ECC and non-ECC UDIMMs in the server will cause the server to run in
non-ECC mode.
v
The UDIMM options that are available for the server are 1 GB, 2 GB, and 4 GB
memory DIMMs.
v
You can install a maximum of 16 GB of memory in the server.
v
The server supports up to two single-rank or dual-rank UDIMMs per channel.
v
The following table lists the supported UDIMM population.
