Memory modules The following notes describe the types of dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) that your server supports and other information that you must consider when installing DIMMs: v Your server supports 2.5 V, 184-pin, error correcting code (ECC), double-data rate (DDR) SDRAM, PC2100 registered DIMMs with Chipkill memory protection. v DIMMs can be removed and replaced through the of the memory cassette. v You can increase the amount of memory in the server by replacing the DIMMs with higher-capacity DIMMs or installing additional pairs of DIMMs in open sockets. The server supports 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB DIMMs. See the ServerProven® list at http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat/ for an updated list of memory modules supported by the server. v For a server with an 8-DIMM-connector memory cassette, you can increase the memory capabilities of your server by upgrading to the 16-connector memory cassette. The 16-connector memory cassette supports memory mirroring and Memory ProteXion. See the ServerProven list at http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat/ for a list of memory cassettes supported by the server. More information on Memory ProteXion and memory mirroring is available in the User's Guide on the xSeries Documentation CD. v The server uses interleaved DIMMs, which requires that you install DIMMs in specific configurations: - In the 8-DIMM-connector memory cassette, install DIMMs in pairs. Each pair must be of the same type, capacity, and speed. The DIMM connectors are arranged in two groups of four rows each; the server comes with one pair of DIMMs installed in DIMM connectors 1 and 5 in the memory cassette. - In the 16-DIMM memory cassette, the DIMM connectors are arranged in two groups of eight rows each. In non-mirrored mode, install DIMMs in pairs; in mirrored mode, install DIMMs in quads, or groups of 4. Each pair or quad must be of the same type, capacity, and speed. v You must populate the DIMM connectors in the following order with the largest size first: 8-DIMM memory board First pair Second pair Third pair Fourth pair DIMMs 1 and 5 DIMMs 2 and 6 DIMMs 3 and 7 DIMMs 4 and 8 16-DIMM memory board in non-mirrored mode First pair Second pair Third pair Fourth pair Fifth pair Sixth pair Seventh pair Eighth pair DIMMs 1 and 3 DIMMs 14 and 16 DIMMs 2 and 4 DIMMs 13 and 15 DIMMs 5 and 7 DIMMs 10 and 12 DIMMs 6 and 8 DIMMs 9 and 11 Chapter 4.

Memory
modules
The
following
notes
describe
the
types
of
dual
inline
memory
modules
(DIMMs)
that
your
server
supports
and
other
information
that
you
must
consider
when
installing
DIMMs:
v
Your
server
supports
2.5
V,
184-pin,
error
correcting
code
(ECC),
double-data
rate
(DDR)
SDRAM,
PC2100
registered
DIMMs
with
Chipkill
memory
protection.
v
DIMMs
can
be
removed
and
replaced
through
the
of
the
memory
cassette.
v
You
can
increase
the
amount
of
memory
in
the
server
by
replacing
the
DIMMs
with
higher-capacity
DIMMs
or
installing
additional
pairs
of
DIMMs
in
open
sockets.
The
server
supports
512
MB,
1
GB,
and
2
GB
DIMMs.
See
the
ServerProven
®
list
at
for
an
updated
list
of
memory
modules
supported
by
the
server.
v
For
a
server
with
an
8-DIMM-connector
memory
cassette,
you
can
increase
the
memory
capabilities
of
your
server
by
upgrading
to
the
16-connector
memory
cassette.
The
16-connector
memory
cassette
supports
memory
mirroring
and
Memory
ProteXion.
See
the
ServerProven
list
at
for
a
list
of
memory
cassettes
supported
by
the
server.
More
information
on
Memory
ProteXion
and
memory
mirroring
is
available
in
the
User’s
Guide
on
the
xSeries
Documentation
CD.
v
The
server
uses
interleaved
DIMMs,
which
requires
that
you
install
DIMMs
in
specific
configurations:
In
the
8-DIMM-connector
memory
cassette,
install
DIMMs
in
pairs.
Each
pair
must
be
of
the
same
type,
capacity,
and
speed.
The
DIMM
connectors
are
arranged
in
two
groups
of
four
rows
each;
the
server
comes
with
one
pair
of
DIMMs
installed
in
DIMM
connectors
1
and
5
in
the
memory
cassette.
In
the
16-DIMM
memory
cassette,
the
DIMM
connectors
are
arranged
in
two
groups
of
eight
rows
each.
In
non-mirrored
mode,
install
DIMMs
in
pairs;
in
mirrored
mode,
install
DIMMs
in
quads,
or
groups
of
4.
Each
pair
or
quad
must
be
of
the
same
type,
capacity,
and
speed.
v
You
must
populate
the
DIMM
connectors
in
the
following
order
with
