• x4 = x4 organization (4 DQ lines per SDRAM)
• x8 = x8 organization
• x16 = x16 organization
–
v
is the SDRAM and support component supply voltage (VDD)
• Blank = 1.5 V specified
• L = 1.35 V specified, 1.5 V operable
Note:
Values for these voltages are ‘specified’ which means the device characteristics such as
timing are supported at this voltage. Values are ‘operable’ which means that the devices can
be operated safely at this voltage. However, device characteristics such as timing may not
be guaranteed. All devices must be ‘tolerant’ of the highest DDR3 nominal voltage of 1.5 V,
meaning that they may not operate at 1.5 V but may be powered at that voltage without damage
to the devices.
•
wwwww
is the DIMM bandwidth, in MBps
–
6400 = 6.40 GBps (DDR3-800 SDRAMs, 8-byte primary data bus)
–
8500 = 8.53 GBps (DDR3-1066 SDRAMs, 8-byte primary data bus)
–
10600 = 10.66 GBps (DDR3-1333 SDRAMs, 8-byte primary data bus)
–
12800 = 12.80 GBps (DDR3-1600 SDRAMs, 8-byte primary data bus)
–
14900 = 14.93 GBps (DDR3-1866 SDRAMs, 8-byte primary data bus)
•
m
is the DIMM type
–
E = Unbuffered DIMM (UDIMM) with ECC (x72-bit module data bus)
–
L = Load Reduction DIMM (LRDIMM)
–
R = Registered DIMM (RDIMM)
–
U = Unbuffered DIMM with no ECC (x64-bit primary data bus)
•
aa
is the CAS latency, in clocks at maximum operating frequency
•
bb
is the JEDEC SPD Revision Encoding and Additions level
•
cc
is the reference design file for the design of the DIMM
•
d
is the revision number of the reference 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 PC3v-xxxxxx-xx-xx-xxx. The numeral in the sixth numerical position indicates
whether the DIMM is single-rank (n=1), dual-rank (n=2), or quad-rank (n=4).
• The following rules apply to DDR3 RDIMM speed as it relates to the number of RDIMMs in a channel:
– When you install 1 RDIMM per channel, the memory runs at 1866 MHz
– When you install 2 RDIMMs per channel, the memory runs at 1600 MHz
– When you install 3 RDIMMs per channel, the memory runs at 1066 MHz
– All channels in a server run at the fastest common frequency
– Do not install registered, unbuffered, and load reduction DIMMs in the same server
• The maximum memory speed is determined by the combination of the microprocessor, DIMM speed,
DIMM type, Operating Modes in UEFI settings, and the number of DIMMs installed in each channel.
• In two-DIMM-per-channel configuration, a server with an Intel Xeon™ E5-2600 series microprocessor
automatically operates with a maximum memory speed of up to 1600 MHz when the following condition
is met:
