This multi-channel architecture provides enhanced performance in Advanced ECC mode. This server blade
supports both Registered PC3 DIMMs (RDIMMs) and Unbuffered DIMMs (UDIMMs).
DIMM slots in this server are identified by number and by letter. Letters identify the slots to populate for

specific AMP modes. Slot numbers are reported by ROM messages during boot and for error reporting.

DIMM identification

To determine DIMM characteristics, use the label attached to the DIMM and the following illustration and
