Single-rank and dual-rank DIMMs
DIMM configuration requirements are based on these classifications:
•
Single-rank DIMM—One set of memory chips that is accessed while writing to or reading from the
memory.
•
Dual-rank DIMM—Two single-rank DIMMs on the same module, with only one rank accessible at a time.
The server memory control subsystem selects the proper rank within the DIMM when writing to or reading
from the DIMM.
Dual-rank DIMMs provide the greatest capacity with the existing memory technology. For example, if current
DRAM technology supports 2-GB single-rank DIMMs, a dual-rank DIMM would be 4 GB.
UDIMM maximum memory configurations
The server supports a maximum of 8 GB using 4-GB dual-rank UDIMMs.
Installing DIMMs
CAUTION:
To avoid damage to the hard drives, memory, and other system components, the air
baffle, drive blanks, and access panel must be installed when the server is powered up.
