Memory
- There are 12 memory slots per CPU for max.
768GB LRDIMM (12x 64GB 8R)
192GB RDIMM (12x 16GB 2R)
64GB UDIMM (8x 8GB) on special Release only
=> max. 1.536GB for two CPU`s (768GB per CPU), using LRDIMM
- The memory area is divided into 4 channels per CPU with 3 slots per channel
- Slot 1 of each channel belongs to memory bank 1, the slot 2 belongs to memory bank 2,
slot 3 belongs to memory bank 3
Registered, LR DIMMs and unbuffered memory modules can be selected
No mix of registered, load reduced and unbuffered modules allowed.
Memory can be operated at 1.5V or 1.35V, even if the modules are of low voltage type.
Memory operating voltage can be set within BIOS (1.5V is default setting for max. speed).
In a single DIMM per channel configuration, following frequencies are supported:
- 1.5V - 1866MHz max (depending on CPU)
- 1.35V - 1600MHz max (depending on CPU, up to two LRDIMM per channel)
- 1.35V - 1333MHz max (up to two UDIMM or RDIMM per channel)
In a 3 DIMMs per channel configuration, memory will operate at 1.35V or 1.5V (no UDIMM allowed).
SDDC (Chipkill) is supported for registered / load redueced x4 organized memory modules only
1.) In the "Independent Channel Mode" is following configuration possible
Channels can be populated in any order in Independent Channel Mode. All four
channels may be populated in any order and have no matching requirements. All
channels must run at the same interface frequency but individual channels may run at
different DIMM timings (RAS latency, CAS latency, and so forth)
No mix of registered, load reduced and unbuffered modules allowed.
2.) "Rank Sparing Mode" configuration
- Within a memory channel, one rank is a spare of the other ranks.
The Spare Rank is held in reserve and is not available as system memory
For the effective memory capacity, please refer to the spreadsheet below.
The BIOS is set to the rank sparing setting.
Minimum configuration is: 2x 1R, 2x 2R or 1x4R DDR3 module per channel
This mode is not supported by unbuffered memory modules
3.) "Performance Mode" configuration
- In this configuration, the memory module population ex factory is spread across all channels.
The BIOS is set to the max. performance for memory.
Minimum configuration is: 4x identical modules per CPU
4.) In the "Mirrored Channel Mode" is following configuration possible
- Each memory bank can optionally be equipped with 4x registered or load reduced or unbuffered DDR3 modules
In each memory bank channel A and B / C and D of CPU 1 or channel E and F / G and H of CPU 2 have to be
equipped with identical modules for mirrored channel mode.
In channel B / D is always the mirrored memory of channel A / B of CPU 1
In channel F / H is always the mirrored memory of channel E / G of CPU 2
Minimum configuration is: 4x identical modules per CPU
This mode is not supported by unbuffered memory modules
S26361-F3694-E10
Independent Channel Mode allows all channels to be populated in any order. No specific Memory RAS features are defined
Requires min 1 memory Module per CPU
S26361-F3694-E1 Rank Sparing Mode Installation
BIOS Setup factory preinstalled to this mode. One Rank is spare of other ranks on the same channel. Spare Rank is not shown in System Memory.
For effective capacity within a channel, please have a look below.
Supported for RDIMM / LRDIMM only.
1x per CPU Requires min 2x 1R/2R or 1x 4R modules per CPU
S26361-F3694-E2 Performance Mode Installation
BIOS Setup factory preinstalled for max. Performance, LV memory might be set to 1.5V operation. Four identical memory modules
will be equipped in one memory bank to achieve highest memory performance. All four modules are active and full capacity can be used.
Multiple of 4 identical modules to be configured per CPU
S26361-F3694-E3
Mirrored Channel Mode Installation
BIOS Setup factory preinstalled to this mode. Four identical memory modules are always equipped in one memory bank to use the
Mirrored channel Mode. Only two modules contain active data, the remain two modules contain mirrored data
Supported for RDIMM / LRDIMM only.
Multiple of 4 identical modules to be configured per CPU
