For

information

on

Configuration/Setup

Utility

program,

see

“Using

the

Configuration/Setup

Utility

program”

on

page

61.

When

you

use

online-spare

memory,

you

must

consider

the

following

information:

-

You

cannot

enable

online-spare

memory

while

the

server

is

operating

in

mirroring

mode.

-

The

minimum

memory

configuration

is

two

single-rank

DIMMs

installed

in

branch

0,

DIMM

connector

1

(in

channel

0)

and

connector

4

(in

channel

1);

however,

online-sparing

is

not

supported

with

this

configuration.

-

To

support

online-sparing

in

branch

0,

you

must

add

a

second

pair

of

DIMMs.

The

spare

pair

of

DIMMs

can

be

single-rank

or

double-rank

and

must

be

the

same

speed,

type,

size

(or

larger),

and

technology

as

the

failed

pair

of

DIMMs.

The

spare

pair

must

be

installed

in

branch

0,

DIMM

connector

2

(in

channel

0)

and

connector

5

(in

channel

1).

However,

if

the

DIMMs

are

double-rank

and

you

install

the

spare

pair

of

DIMMs

in

branch

1,

DIMM

connector

7

(channel

2)

and

connector

10

(channel

3)

rather

than

branch

0,

then

branch

1

will

support

online-sparing

and

branch

0

will

not.

-

Branch

0

and

branch

1

operate

independently.

v

The

following

notes

apply

when

the

server

operates

in

non-mirroring

mode

(normal

mode):

DIMMs

must

be

installed

in

matched

pairs.

If

you

install

a

second

pair

of

DIMMs

in

DIMM

connector

7

and

DIMM

connector

10,

they

do

not

have

to

be

the

same

size,

speed,

type,

and

technology

as

the

DIMMs

in

DIMM

connector

1

and

DIMM

connector

4.

However,

the

size,

speed,

type,

and

technology

of

the

DIMMs

that

you

install

in

DIMM

connector

7

and

DIMM

connector

10

must

match

each

other.

The

following

table

shows

the

DIMM

upgrade

configuration

sequence

for

operating

in

non-mirroring

mode

(normal

mode).

v

The

amount

of

the

system

configuration.

A

amount

of

memory

must

be

reserved

for

system

resources.

To
