Memory Riser and DIMM Configuration
The server includes eight memory risers, each containing four DIMM slots. Four memory risers
are associated with each CPU.
Either 16 or 32 DIMMs may be installed in the server.
The memory configuration rules for the server are as follows:
■
All eight memory risers must be installed in all configurations.
■
In half-populated configurations (16 DIMMs) DIMMs must be installed in all CH0 slots.
These slots have black ejector levers.
■
In fully-populated configurations (32 DIMMs), DIMMs must be installed in all slots (CH0
and CH1)
