Dell 7 Memory 7.1 Overview The PowerEdge T610 utilizes DDR3 memory, providing a high performance, high-speed memory interface capable of low latency response and high throughput. The T610 supports Registered ECC DDR3 DIMMs (RDIMM) or Unbuffered ECC DDR3 DIMMs (UDIMM).
PAGE 31
Dell For Memory Mirroring, two channels operate as mirrors of each other—writes go to both channels and reads alternate between the two channels. One channel per processor populated o This is a simple Memory Optimized mode. o Mirroring is not supported. o  7.2.2 DIMM Population Rules The following DIMM population rules apply:      If DIMMs of different speeds are mixed, all channels will operate at the fastest common frequency. RDIMMs and UDIMMs cannot be mixed.
PAGE 32
Dell If memory modules with different speeds are installed, they will operate at the speed of the slowest installed memory module(s). For quad-rank DIMMs mixed with single- or dual-rank DIMMs, the quad-rank DIMM must be installed in the slot with the white ejection tabs (the first DIMM slot in each channel). There is no requirement for the order of single- and dual-rank DIMMs. 7.4 DIMM Slots The PowerEdge T610 has 12 DIMM slots for memory. It does not have any riser cards for DIMM population.
PAGE 33
Dell Advanced ECC mode. Additionally, correction of a x4 device failure is possible in the Memory Optimized mode. 7.9 Advanced ECC (Lockstep) Mode In this configuration, the two channels closest to the processor are combined to form one 128-bit channel. This mode supports SDDC for both x4- and x8-based memory modules. Memory modules must be identical in size, speed and technology in corresponding slots. 7.
