Figure 36. Memory Population for Single-Channel Failsafe
This configuration:
The FBDIMMs installed in the DIMM_1 sockets on Memory Riser Boards A and B are
not identical in organization, size, and speed.
Does not meet the requirements for dual-channel mode.
The BIOS selects the operating mode best matching the requirements of Memory Riser
Board A, DIMM_1 such that it is always enabled. Therefore, the BIOS disables Memory
Riser Board B, DIMM_1 and configures the system for single-channel mode as a
failsafe.
