eight industry-standard, 2-way interleaved, x4 or x8, 1.8 V, 240-pin, double-data-rate 2 (DDR2), PC2-5300, 677 MHz, dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) fully buffered (FBD) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). TD100x The server supports up to 48 GB (reduced to 24 GB in mirrored mode) of system memory. The memory controller supports error correcting code (ECC) for up to 12 240-pin, DDR1, PC2-5300, SDRAM, 667 MHz, fully buffered DIMMs. v Memory mirroring Some models support memory mirroring. Memory mirroring replicates and stores data in DIMMs within two branches simultaneously. To support memory mirroring, you must have at least two pairs of DIMMs installed (a pair in each branch). Pairs of DIMMs that are next to each other (for example, DIMM slot 1 and DIMM slot 4) within the channels of the same branch must be identical pairs of full-buffered, dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). For more information, see "Installing a memory module" on page 28. v Online-spare memory Some models support online-sparing memory. Online-spare memory disables a failed rank pair of DIMMs from the system configuration and activates an online-spare rank pair of DIMMs to replace the failed rank pair of DIMMs. For an online-spare pair of DIMMs to be activated, you must enable this feature and have installed an additional pair of DIMMs of the same speed, type, size (or larger), and technology as the failed pair of DIMMs. For more information, see "Installing a memory module" on page 28. v Redundant power capabilities Some models support up to two 835-watt power supplies, which provide redundancy and hot-swap capability for a typical configuration. If the maximum load on the server is less than 835 watts and a problem occurs with one of the power supplies, the other power supply can meet the power requirements. v ServeRAID™ support Some models support ServeRAID adapters to create redundant array of independent disks (RAID) configurations. Some models also have integrated RAID level-0 and level-1 support. v Symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) The server supports up to two Intel Xeon microprocessors. Each microprocessor provides symmetric multiprocessing capability. When you install the second microprocessor, this will enhance the performance of the server. v Systems-management capabilities The server supports an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine, which provides service-processor functions in addition to those that the BMC provides. When this adapter is used with the systems-management software that comes with the server, you can manage the functions of the server locally and remotely. The Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine also provides system monitoring, event recording, and dial-out alert capability. See the documentation that comes with your systems-management software for more information. Reliability, availability, and serviceability Three important server design features are reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS). The RAS features help to ensure the integrity of the data that is stored in the server, the availability of the server when you need it, and the ease with which you can diagnose and repair problems. 6 ThinkServer TD100 and TD100x Types 4203, 4204, 4205, 4206, 6398, 6399, 6419, and 6429: User Guide

v
Memory
mirroring
Some
models
support
memory
mirroring.
Memory
mirroring
replicates
and
stores
data
in
DIMMs
within
two
branches
simultaneously.
To
support
memory
mirroring,
you
must
have
at
least
two
pairs
of
DIMMs
installed
(a
pair
in
each
branch).
Pairs
of
DIMMs
that
are
next
to
each
other
(for
example,
DIMM
slot
1
and
DIMM
slot
4)
within
the
channels
of
the
same
branch
must
be
identical
pairs
of
full-buffered,
dual
inline
memory
modules
(DIMMs).
For
more
information,
see
“Installing
a
memory
module”
on
page
28.
v
Online-spare
memory
Some
models
support
online-sparing
memory.
Online-spare
memory
disables
a
failed
rank
pair
of
DIMMs
from
the
system
configuration
and
activates
an
online-spare
rank
pair
of
DIMMs
to
replace
the
failed
rank
pair
of
DIMMs.
For
an
online-spare
pair
of
DIMMs
to
be
activated,
you
must
enable
this
feature
and
have
installed
an
additional
pair
of
DIMMs
of
the
same
speed,
type,
size
(or
larger),
and
technology
as
the
failed
pair
of
DIMMs.
For
more
information,
see
“Installing
a
memory
module”
on
page
28.
v
Redundant
power
capabilities
Some
models
support
up
to
two
835-watt
power
supplies,
which
provide
redundancy
and
hot-swap
capability
for
a
typical
configuration.
If
the
maximum
load
on
the
server
is
less
than
835
watts
and
a
problem
occurs
with
one
of
the
power
supplies,
the
other
power
supply
can
meet
the
power
requirements.
v
ServeRAID
™
support
Some
models
support
ServeRAID
adapters
to
create
redundant
array
of
independent
disks
(RAID)
configurations.
Some
models
also
have
integrated
RAID
level-0
and
level-1
support.
v
Symmetric
multiprocessing
(SMP)
The
server
supports
up
to
two
Intel
Xeon
microprocessors.
Each
microprocessor
provides
symmetric
multiprocessing
capability.
When
you
install
the
second
microprocessor,
this
will
enhance
the
performance
of
the
server.
v
Systems-management
capabilities
The
server
supports
an
optional
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
II
SlimLine,
which
provides
service-processor
functions
in
addition
to
those
that
the
BMC
provides.
When
this
adapter
is
used
with
the
systems-management
software
that
comes
with
the
server,
you
can
manage
the
functions
of
the
server
locally
and
remotely.
The
Remote
Supervisor
Adapter
II
SlimLine
also
provides
system
monitoring,
event
recording,
and
dial-out
alert
capability.
See
the
documentation
that
comes
with
your
systems-management
software
for
more
information.
Reliability,
availability,
and
serviceability
Three
important
server
design
features
are
reliability,
availability,
and
serviceability
(RAS).
The
RAS
features
help
to
ensure
the
integrity
of
the
data
that
is
stored
in
the
server,
the
availability
of
the
server
when
you
need
it,
and
the
ease
with
which
you
can
diagnose
and
repair
problems.
