Table 12. Memory population rules (continued) Processor Configuration Memory population Memory population information NOTE: Odd number of DIMMs will result in unbalanced memory configurations, which in turn will result in performance loss. It is recommended to populate all memory channels identically with identical DIMMs for best performance. ● Optimizer population order is not traditional for 4 and 8 DIMM installations of single processor. ○ For 4 DIMMs: A1, A2, A4, A5 ○ For 8 DIMMs: A1, A2, A4, A5, A7, A8, A10, A11 Mirror population order Single rank sparing population order {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} {7, 8, 9, Mirroring is supported with 6 or 12 DIMMs per 10, 11, 12} processor. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 ● DIMMs must be populated in the order specified. ● Requires two ranks or more per channel. Multi rank sparing population order 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 ● DIMMs must be populated in the order specified. ● Requires three ranks or more per channel. Fault resilient population {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} {7, 8, 9, order 10, 11, 12} Dual processor (Start with processor1. processor1 and processor 2 population should match) Optimized (Independent channel) population order A{1}, B{1}, A{2}, B{2}, A{3}, B{3}, A{4}, B{4}, A{5}, B{5}, A{6}, B{6} Supported with 6 or 12 DIMMs per processor. Odd number of DIMM population per processor is allowed. NOTE: Odd number of DIMMs will result in unbalanced memory configurations, which in turn will result in performance loss. It is recommended to populate all memory channels identically with identical DIMMs for best performance. Optimizer population order is not traditional for 8 and 16 DIMMs installations for dual processor. ● For 8 DIMMs: A1, A2, A4, A5, B1, B2, B4, B5 ● For 16 DIMMs: A1, A2, A4, A5, A7, A8, A10, A11 B1, B2, B4, B5, B7, B8, B10, B11 Mirroring population order A{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, B{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, A{7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}, B{7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12} Mirroring is supported with 6 or 12 DIMMs per processor. Single rank sparing population order A{1}, B{1}, A{2}, B{2}, A{3}, B{3}, A{4}, B{4}, A{5}, B{5}, A{6}, B{6} ● DIMMs must be populated in the order specified. ● Requires two ranks or more per channel. 78 Installing and removing system components
