DIMM Names

DIMMs follow the naming convention /SYS/CMIOUx/CM/CMP/BOByw/CHz/DIMM with the following values:

  • CMIOU number:

    • SPARC M8-8, where x is 0 to 7

    • SPARC M7-8, where x is 0 to 7

    • SPARC M7-16, where x is 0 to 15

  • Buffer chip (BOB) number (where y is 0 to 3 and w is 0 or 1)

  • DDR channel (CH) number (where z is 0 or 1)

This information is useful when servicing DIMMs and when assessing error messages. For example, the following output identifies faulty DIMMs on two different SPARC M7 CMIOUs.
