DIMM Population Rules and Supported DIMM Configurations

DIMM population rules depend on the operating mode of the memory controller, which

is determined by the number of DIMMs installed. DIMMs must be populated in pairs.

DIMM pairs are populated in the following DIMM slot order:

1. A1 and B1
2. C1 and D1
3. A2 and B2
4. C2 and D2

DIMMs within a given pair must be identical with respect to size, speed, and

organization. However, DIMM capacities can be different between different DIMM pairs.

For example, a valid mixed-DIMM configuration may have:

• 512 Mbyte DIMMs installed in DIMM slots A1 and B1
• 1 Gbyte DIMMs installed in DIMM slots C1 and D1

The supported DIMM configurations for the T5000PAL server board are given in
