Servicing DIMMs 69
Servicing DIMMs
DIMMs are cold-service components that can be replaced by customers. For the location of the
DIMMs, see “Processor Module Components” on page 18.
Caution - This procedure requires that you handle components that are sensitive to electrostatic
discharge. This discharge can cause failure of server components.

DIMM Population Rules
Consider the following population rules when installing, upgrading, or replacing DIMMs in a
processor module:
■
Two DIMM capacities are supported: 16 Gbyte and 32Gbyte.
■
All DIMMs installed in the server must have identical capacities (all 16 Gbyte or all 32
Gbyte DDR3 DIMMs).
■
All DIMMs installed in each processor module must be identical (identical Oracle part
number).
To identify DIMM architecture, see “DIMM Rank Classification” on page 72.

The following memory configurations are supported:
