Server Board Features Memory For a list of supported memory DIMMs, see: http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/se7520bd2/sb/CS-013543.htm. Product Codes SE7520BD2, SE7520BD2SCSI, and SE7520BD2V Product codes SE7520BD2, SE7520BD2SCSI, and SE7520BD2V include three banks of DIMMs across two channels. Channel A consists of DIMMs 1A, 2A, and 3A. Channel B consists of DIMMs 1B, 2B, and 3B. Bank 1 (DIMMs 1B and 1A) is closest to the edge of the server board. DIMMs must be identical within each bank. The minimum allowed memory is 256 MB, using a single 256 MB DIMM in DIMM slot 1B. The system operates in single channel when only a single DIMM is installed. The maximum allowed usable memory is 24 GB of DDR 266 and 16 MB of DDR333, using 4 GB DIMMs. DIMMs must meet the following requirements: ƒ Use only 184-pin, DDR-266/333 ECC, registered DDR DIMM modules ƒ Have a DIMM organization x72 ECC ƒ Support the following sizes: 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, 4GBi ƒ DDR-333 memory is only supported with BGA package memory on the Intel® Server Board SE7520BD2 (product codes SE7520BD2, SE7520BD2SCSO, SE7520BD2V). TSOP SDRAM packages will not be supported on DDR-333 DIMMs on these product codes. ƒ A minimum of one 256MB DIMM is required in DIMM socket 1B. This uses single-channel interleave. However, for dual-channel interleave, providing optimum performance, a minimum of two DIMMs should be installed in DIMM sockets 1A and 1B. Except for the option of installing a single DIMM in socket 1B, DIMMs must be installed in pairs and populated as follows: DIMM1A and DIMM 1B: Populate these two sockets together first DIMM 2A and DIMM 2B: Populate these sockets in addition to DIMM 1A and DIMM 2A if four DIMMs are to be used. DIMM 3A and DIMM 3B: Populate these sockets after DIMM 1A, DIMM 1B, DIMM 2A, and DIMM 2B have been populated. 25

Product Codes SE7520BD2, SE7520BD2SCSI, and SE7520BD2V
Product codes SE7520BD2, SE7520BD2SCSI, and SE7520BD2V include three banks of DIMMs
across two channels. Channel A consists of DIMMs 1A, 2A, and 3A. Channel B consists of
DIMMs 1B, 2B, and 3B. Bank 1 (DIMMs 1B and 1A) is closest to the edge of the server board.
DIMMs must be identical within each bank.
The minimum allowed memory is 256 MB, using a single 256 MB DIMM in DIMM slot 1B. The
system operates in single channel when only a single DIMM is installed. The maximum allowed
usable memory is 24 GB of DDR 266 and 16 MB of DDR333, using 4 GB DIMMs.
DIMMs must meet the following requirements:
Use only 184-pin, DDR-266/333 ECC, registered DDR DIMM modules
Have a DIMM organization x72 ECC
Support the following sizes: 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, 4GB
i
DDR-333 memory is only supported with BGA package memory on the Intel
®
Server Board
SE7520BD2 (product codes SE7520BD2, SE7520BD2SCSO, SE7520BD2V). TSOP SDRAM
packages will not be supported on DDR-333 DIMMs on these product codes.
A minimum of one 256MB DIMM is required in DIMM socket 1B. This uses single-channel
interleave. However, for dual-channel interleave, providing optimum performance, a minimum
of two DIMMs should be installed in DIMM sockets 1A and 1B. Except for the option of
installing a single DIMM in socket 1B, DIMMs must be installed in pairs and populated as
follows:
DIMM1A and DIMM 1B: Populate these two sockets together first
DIMM 2A and DIMM 2B: Populate these sockets in addition to DIMM 1A and DIMM 2A
if four DIMMs are to be used.
DIMM 3A and DIMM 3B: Populate these sockets after DIMM 1A, DIMM 1B, DIMM 2A,
and DIMM 2B have been populated.
