HP ProLiant BL30p

Hardware Options Installation
Interleaving and Non-Interleaving Memory Configuration
This server supports both interleaving and non-interleaving memory configurations.
Interleaving memory increases bandwidth by allowing simultaneous access to more
than one block of data (for example, overlapping Read-Writes). This is accomplished
by dividing the system memory in an exact pair of DIMMs and Writing-Reading
blocks of data to/from both simultaneously. In order to take advantage of interleaving
memory, identical DIMMs must be installed in a pair. DIMMs can also be installed
singularly.
Activating Interleaving Memory
On the ProLiant BL30p server blade, interleaving memory functionality is
automatically activated when two identical DIMMs are detected. The server blade
identifies memory mode in two ways. At post, the ROM will display an interleaving
or non-interleaving message. In addition, the RBSU main menu will identify the
memory mode following the
XXXMB Memory Installed message in the
information block to the right of the menu options list.
