V2500 memory configurations
DIMMs in quadrant 1 can be of a different size than DIMMs in
quadrant 2 or 3 without degrading performance.
DIMMS in quadrant 0 and 1 should be the same size for maximum
performance.
DIMMS in quadrant 2 and 3 should be the same size for maximum
performance.
DIMMs in quadrant 0 can be of a different size than DIMMs in
quadrant 1. To allow this memory to be fully utilized, the bus
interleave span will be reduced to 4 way bus interleaving. This will
degrade performance.
DIMMs in quadrant 2 can be of a different size than DIMMs in
quadrant 3. To allow this memory to be fully utilized, the bus
interleave span will be reduced to 4 way bus interleaving. This will
degrade performance.
Mixing of 32-Mbyte DIMMS and 256-Mbyte DIMMs is not supported.
All quadrants on a given memory board do not have to be populated
with DIMMs.
