Memory
The Server Board SE7230NH1-E provides four DIMM sockets across two channels,
Channel A and Channel B. Channel A consists of DIMM sockets 1A and 2A. Channel B
consists of DIMM sockets 1B and 2B.
A minimum of one 256MB DIMM is required in DIMM socket 1A. This uses single-
channel interleave. However, for dual-channel interleave, providing optimum
performance, a minimum of two DIMMs should be installed in DIMM sockets 1A and
1B. Except for the option of installing a single DIMM in socket 1A or 1B, DIMMs must
be installed in pairs and populated as follows:
DIMM1A and DIMM 1B: Populate these two sockets together first.
DIMM 2A and DIMM 2B: Populate these sockets in addition to DIMM 1A and
DIMM 1B if four DIMMs are to be used.
DIMMs must meet the following requirements:
DDR2 400/533/667 , un-buffered, DDR2 DIMM modules
DIMM organization: x72 ECC or x 64 Non-ECC
Pin count: 240
DIMM capacity: 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB and 2 GB DIMMs
Serial PD: JEDEC Rev 2.0
Serial PD: JEDEC Rev 2.0
Interface: SSTL2
For a complete list of supported memory DIMMs, see the links under "Additional
Information and Software."
In order to operate in Dual Channel Dynamic Paging Mode, the following conditions must
be met:
Two identical DIMMs are installed, one each in DIMM_1A and DIMM_1B
Four identical DIMMs are installed (one in each socket location)
