Server Module Maintenance Procedures and Information
Only symmetric memory configurations resulting in 12 DIMMs per blade or 24 DIMMs per blade are supported. Supported configurations:
Three DIMMs per CPU
Six DIMMs per CPU
Note - Memory bandwidth (speed) drops to 1066 MHz when the DIMM slots are fully populated (even when using 1333 MHz DIMMs).
Both CPUs on each node must be populated identically and must have exactly the same memory configuration.
DIMM slot population order:
First set to populate: D5/D3/D1
Second set to populate: D4/D2/D0
Do not populate any DIMM socket next to an empty processor socket.
