Single-rank and dual-rank DIMMs
DIMM configuration requirements are based on these classifications:
•
Single-rank DIMM—One set of memory chips that is accessed while writing to or reading from the
memory.
•
Dual-rank DIMM—Two single-rank DIMMs on the same module, with only one rank accessible at a time.
The server memory control subsystem selects the proper rank within the DIMM when writing to or reading
from the DIMM.
Dual-rank DIMMs provide the greatest capacity with the existing memory technology. For example, if current
DRAM technology supports 2-GB single-rank DIMMs, a dual-rank DIMM would be 4 GB.
Memory subsystem architecture
The memory subsystem in this server is divided into channels. The processor supports two channels, and each
channel supports two DIMM slots.

The server supports a maximum of 32 GB, using 2 GB, 4 GB, and 8 GB single-rank or dual-rank UDIMMs.
DIMM slots are identified by number and by letter. Letters identify the population order. Slot numbers are
reported by ROM messages during boot and are used for error reporting. For the DIMM slot locations, see

General DIMM slot population guidelines
•
The server has four memory slots.
•
The server supports two channels with two DIMM slots per channel.
