Note To ensure the best server performance, it is important that you are familiar with memory performance
guidelines and population rules before you install or replace memory modules.
Memory Performance Guidelines and Population Rules
This section describes the type of memory that the server requires and its effect on performance. The
following topics are covered:
• Supported DIMMs, page 3-23
• Banks and Channels, page 3-23
• Memory Population Rules, page 3-24
• Memory Mirroring and RAS, page 3-25

Note Non-ECC UDIMMs do not support temperature sensors.
Banks and Channels
Each memory channel is identified by a letter—channels A, B, and C for CPU1, and channels D, E, and
F for CPU2. See Figure 3-16.
Each memory bank is identified by a number, either 1 or 2. For example DIMM slots A1, B1, and C1
belong to Bank–1, while A2, B2, C2 belong to Bank–2. Note that each slot within Bank 1 is blue, while
each slot within Bank 2 is black. See Figure 3-16.
