Memory
The server board provides eight DIMM sockets across two channels, Channel A and
Channel B. Channel A consists of DIMM sockets A1, A2, A3, and A4. Channel B
consists of DIMM sockets B1, B2, B3, and B4. The entry SATA SKU provides four
DIMM sockets where DIMM sockets A3, A4, B3, and B4 are depopulated.
A minimum of one 512 MB DIMM is required in DIMM socket A1. DIMMs must be
installed starting with the lowest number slot in a given channel.
All DIMMs with the same slot number within a given branch must match (size,
technology, manufacturer). It is not required to match DIMMs between different slot
numbers.
DIMMs must meet the following requirements:
• Use only Fully Buffered DIMMs (FBD) with DDR2 DRAM technology.
• Use only FBD DDR2-533 and FBD DDR2-667 stacked DIMM modules.
For a complete list of supported memory DIMMs, see the links under "Additional
Information and Software."
