General memory configuration requirements
The following configuration requirements apply regardless of the AMP mode.
• DIMMs must be installed in pairs.
• Dimms pairs in a memory bank must contain DIMMS with the same part
number.
• Always populate the DIMMs in sequential order per bank: Bank A and then
Bank B.
• Always populate the memory boards in sequential order: Board 1, Board 2,
Board 3, and Board 4. Any deviation from this requirement results in the
server defaulting to Advanced ECC ("Advanced ECC memory" on page
97 )
on the next reboot.
• Dual-rank DIMMs must be populated before single-rank DIMMs (dual-rank
DIMMs must be in the lower bank).
• The following table lists all valid combinations of single- and dual-rank
DIMM configurations for a memory board. "Single" indicates a bank of
single-rank DIMMs. "Dual" indicates a bank of dual-rank DIMMs.
NOTE: A bank contains 2 DIMMs.
