Address Bit Permuting
ProLiant 6400R servers offer enhanced memory performance depending on memory
configurations.
NOTE:
All banks must contain four ECC, EDO DIMMs of the same size, speed, and manufacturer.
Address Bit Permuting (ABP) is an option that distributes memory addresses across two or four
banks of memory. Therefore, an ABP
group may be two or four banks in size. The following are
memory configuration rules that permit ABP,
Two or four banks on a memory expansion board must be populated.
All banks within an ABP group (two banks for a two-bank group and four banks for a
four-bank group) must be of the same memory capacity.
The memory in the expansion board must be populated starting with bank 1, and each
populated bank must be adjacent.
For example, installing four 256-MB DIMMs in Bank 1 would achieve 1 GB of total memory
but would not enable ABP. However, installing 16 64-MB DIMMs, using all four banks, would
enable ABP and enhance memory performance.
