C-RIMMs (Continuity RIMM) must be used to complete the socket that
is not populated by RDRAMs. To assure the electrical integrity of the
Rambus interface. A C-RIMM is necessary to avoid breaking the
signal lines, which are a serial connection in a Rambus interface.
The diagram below shows the various combinations for inserting
RIMMs.)
