Interleaving and Non-Interleaving Memory Configuration
This server supports both interleaving and non-interleaving memory
configurations. Interleaving memory increases bandwidth by allowing
simultaneous access to more than one block of data (for example, overlapping
Read-Writes). This is accomplished by dividing the system memory between
pairs of DIMMs and Writing-Reading blocks of data to/from both
simultaneously. In order to take advantage of memory interleaving, identical
DIMMs must be installed in pairs. DIMMs can also be installed singularly in slot
1 only if memory interleaving is not desired.
Activating Interleaving Memory
Interleaving memory functionality is automatically activated whenever two
identical DIMMs are detected in sockets 1 and 2. If sockets 3 and 4 are
populated, it must be with identical DIMMs as well. If identical DIMMs are
installed in sockets 1, 2, and 3, the system will not boot.
