Page 27 highlights

• Populate DIMM slots for a processor only if the processor is installed. • To maximize performance in multi-processor configurations, distribute the total memory capacity between all processors as evenly as possible. • Do not mix Unbuffered and Registered PC3 DIMMs. • Each channel supports up to two Unbuffered DIMMs. • If quad-rank DIMMs are installed for a processor, a maximum of two DIMMs can be installed on each channel for that processor. If a channel contains quad-rank DIMMs, the quad-rank DIMM must be installed first on that channel. DIMM speeds are supported as indicated in the following table. Populated slots (per channel) Rank Speeds supported (MHz) 1 Single- or dual-rank 800, 1333, 1066 1 Quad-rank 800, 1066 2 Single- or dual-rank 800, 1066 2 Single-, dual-, or quad-rank 800 Advanced ECC population guidelines For Advanced ECC mode configurations, observe the following guidelines: • Observe the general DIMM slot population guidelines (on page 26). • DIMMs may be installed individually. Single-processor Advanced ECC population order For Advanced ECC mode configurations with a single processor, populate the DIMM slots in the following order: • RDIMM: Sequentially in alphabetical order (A through F) • UDIMM: Sequentially in alphabetical order (A through F). Multi-processor Advanced ECC population order For Advanced ECC mode configurations with multiple processors, populate the DIMM slots for each processor in the following order: • RDIMM: Sequentially in alphabetical order (A through F) • UDIMM: Sequentially in alphabetical order (A through F). Lockstep Memory population guidelines For Lockstep memory mode configurations, observe the following guidelines: • Observe the general DIMM slot population guidelines (on page 26). • Always install DIMMs in channels 1 and 2 for each installed processor. • Do not install DIMMs in channel 3 for any processor.

Populate DIMM slots for a processor only if the processor is installed.
To maximize performance in multi-processor configurations, distribute the total memory capacity
between all processors as evenly as possible.
Do not mix Unbuffered and Registered PC3 DIMMs.
Each channel supports up to two Unbuffered DIMMs.
If quad-rank DIMMs are installed for a processor, a maximum of two DIMMs can be installed on
each channel for that processor.
If a channel contains quad-rank DIMMs, the quad-rank DIMM must be installed first on that channel.
DIMM speeds are supported as indicated in the following table.

Advanced ECC population guidelines
For Advanced ECC mode configurations, observe the following guidelines:
Observe the general DIMM slot population guidelines (on page
26
).
DIMMs may be installed individually.
Single-processor Advanced ECC population order
For Advanced ECC mode configurations with a single processor, populate the DIMM slots in the following
order:
RDIMM: Sequentially in alphabetical order (A through F)
UDIMM: Sequentially in alphabetical order (A through F).
Multi-processor Advanced ECC population order
For Advanced ECC mode configurations with multiple processors, populate the DIMM slots for each
processor in the following order:
RDIMM: Sequentially in alphabetical order (A through F)
UDIMM: Sequentially in alphabetical order (A through F).
Lockstep Memory population guidelines
For Lockstep memory mode configurations, observe the following guidelines:
Observe the general DIMM slot population guidelines (on page
26
).
Always install DIMMs in channels 1 and 2 for each installed processor.
Do not install DIMMs in channel 3 for any processor.
