Supported FB-DIMM Configurations

Use these FB-DIMM configuration rules to help you plan the memory configuration
of your server:

■

Up to 16 FB-DIMMs can be installed in each CMP/memory module pair.

■

Each bank consists of four FB-DIMMs.

■

Each bank must be populated completely, never partially.

■

For each CPU/Memory module pair, all FB-DIMMs must be of the same capacity,
either 2 GB, 4 GB or 8 GB per FB-DIMM.

■

Memory bank 0 must always be populated.

■

Memory bank 1 must be populated before banks 2 and 3.

■

Memory banks 2 and 3 must be populated simultaneously and completely.

■

The number of FB-DIMMs installed on a processor and its associated memory
expansion module must be either 4, 8 or 16. No other combinations are
supported.

■

4 GB FB-DIMMs at 800 Mhz are available for 1.6-Ghz systems only and cannot be
mixed with other FB-DIMMs of different speed within the same system.

The following table describes the supported memory configurations, and the order in
which FB-DIMMs must be added.
