Cisco UCS C240 M3 High-Density Rack Server (Small Form Factor Disk Drive Model)
CONFIGURING the SERVER

(4) 2-CPU configuration with memory mirroring:
■ Select 2, 4, 6, 8, or 12 identical DIMMs per CPU. The DIMMs will be placed by the factory as
shown in the following table.
■ Select the memory mirroring option (N01-MMIRROR) as shown in Tabl e 4 on page 17.

2. If this 3DPC configuration is implemented with quad-rank DIMMs (the 32 GB LR DIMM), the maximum DIMM
speed will be 1066 MHz, even though the DIMM is specified to operate at a higher speed.

NOTE: System performance is optimized when the DIMM type and quantity are
equal for both CPUs, and when all channels are filled equally across the CPUs in the
server.
