CONFIGURING the SERVER Approved Configurations (1) 1-CPU configurations: ■ Select any one CPU listed in Table 3. (2) 2-CPU Configurations: ■ Select two identical CPUs from any one of the rows of Table 3 on page 13. Caveats ■ You can select either one processor or two identical processors. ■ For optimal performance, select DIMMs with the highest clock speed for a given processor (see Table 3 on page 13).
CONFIGURING the SERVER STEP 3 SELECT MEMORY The standard memory features are: ■ ■ Figure 4 16 DIMMs — Clock speed: 1866, 1600, or 1333 MHz — Ranks per DIMM: 1, 2, or 4 — Operational voltage: 1.5 V or 1.35 V — Registered or unbuffered ECC DDR3 DIMMs (RDIMMs or UDIMMs) or load-reduced DIMMs (LRDIMMs) Memory is organized with four memory channels per CPU, with up to three DIMMs per channel, as shown in Figure 4.
CONFIGURING the SERVER Select DIMMs and Memory Mirroring Select the memory configuration and whether or not you want the memory mirroring option. The available memory DIMMs and mirroring option are listed in Table 4. NOTE: When memory mirroring is enabled, the memory subsystem simultaneously writes identical data to two channels. If a memory read from one of the channels returns incorrect data due to an uncorrectable memory error, the system automatically retrieves the data from the other channel.
CONFIGURING the SERVER ■ Select from 1 to 12 DIMMs. Refer to Memory Population Rules, page 66, for more detailed information. (2) 1-CPU configuration with memory mirroring: ■ Select 2, 4, 6, 8, or 12 identical DIMMs. The DIMMs will be placed by the factory as shown in the following table.
CONFIGURING the SERVER (4) 2-CPU configuration with memory mirroring: ■ Select 2, 4, 6, 8, or 12 identical DIMMs per CPU. The DIMMs will be placed by the factory as shown in the following table.
CONFIGURING the SERVER Caveats ■ System speed is dependent on how many DIMMs are populated per channel. See Table 5 for details. Table 5 DIMM Memory Speeds 1333-MHz Capable CPU DIMM Speed 1333 DIMM 1600 DIMM 1866 DIMM3 1600-MHz Capable CPU 1866-MHz Capable CPU LRDIMM RDIMM (DR, SR) LRDIMM RDIMM (DR, SR) LRDIMM RDIMM (DR, SR) Voltages Voltages Voltages Voltages Voltages Voltages DPC 1.3 V 1.5 V 1.3 V 1.5 V 1.3 V 1.5 V 1.
CONFIGURING the SERVER — DIMM population (how many DIMMs per channel are populated) — BIOS setting. For the DIMMs to run in power-savings mode (1.35 V, if the DIMM supports this), change the BIOS setting to power-savings mode. ■ With 3 RDIMMs populated per channel, memory always runs at 1.5 V regardless if the BIOS setting is power-savings mode (1.35 V) or performance mode (1.5 V). ■ With 3 LRDIMMs populated per channel, memory can operate at 1.5 V or 1.35 V, depending on the BIOS setting.
