You can upgrade your system memory to a maximum of 128 GB by installing 667-MHz registered parity DDR2 memory modules (DIMMs) in sets of 512-MB, 1-GB, 2-GB, 4-GB, or 8-GB single- or dual-ranked modules (quad-ranked modules are not supported). The memory sockets are located on the system board under the memory module cooling shrouds and are split into two separate groups of eight sockets each. Each eight-socket group is adjacent to its respective processor.
Your system hardware supports Non-Uniform Memory Architecture (NUMA). Each processor has its own memory controller and local memory for reduced access times, but it can also access memory from another processor. This architecture improvessystem performance if an operating system is installed that supports this feature.
NOTICE: To enable NUMA, run the System Setup program and disable the Node Interleaving option. See Using the System Setup Program.
General Memory Module Installation Guidelines
To ensure optimal performance of your system, observe the following guidelines when configuring your system memory.
- Memory must be installed in configurations of four, eight, or sixteen DIMMs. The minimum configuration is four 512-MB DIMMs.
- DIMMs must be installed in matched sets of identical speed, technology, and size in the following sockets:
- A1, A2, B1, and B2 four identical DIMMs in this set
- A3, A4, B3, and B4 four identical DIMMs in this set
- A5 through A8 and B5 through B8 eight identical DIMMs in this set
- Minimum configurations (four DIMMs) must occupy sockets A1, A2, B1, and B2.
- A matched DIMM set can be mixed with another matched DIMM set of the next smaller size. For example, a DIMM set containing 2-GB DIMMs can be mixed with another DIMM set containing 1-GB DIMMs, but not a set containing 512-MB DIMMs. The larger capacity DIMMs must occupy the lower-numbered DIMM sockets.
Table 3-1 shows the available memory configurations following these guidelines.
Memory Sparing Support
Memory sparing is supported in systems that have one of the fully populated memory configurations shown in Table 3-1. The memory sparing feature must be enabled in the Memory Information screen of the System Setup program. See Using the System Setup Program.
NOTE: The Memory sparing and node interleaving features cannot be used at the same time. To use memory sparing, you must disable the Node Interleaving option in the System Setup program.
Memory sparing is applied independently to the two groups of DIMMs on opposite sides of the processor sockets. To support memory sparing, all DIMM sockets within a DIMM group must be populated.
When enabled, memory sparing allocates and reserves ranks of memory from the installed DIMMs to act as spare memory in the event of a memory channel failure. A memory channel uses paired DIMMs; for memory sparing to work, DIMMs must be paired as spares also.
Memory sparing allocates only the first rank of memory of a DIMM. For a single-rank DIMM, the entire capacity of the DIMM must be allocated for sparing along with the adjacent single-rank DIMM to spare a memory channel. For dual-rank DIMMs, two DIMMs are also required for sparing, but as only the first rank of each DIMM is allocated, only half of a dual-rank DIMM's capacity is allocated for sparing. The second ranks on both DIMMs are available memory.
Memory sparing calculates the appropriate DIMMs to spare by searching the DIMM sockets, starting with the higher-numbered socket pair (specifically, sockets 3 and 4 or sockets 7 and 8), for an amount of memory large enough to spare one of the available channels of memory. If the DIMMs in these sockets are sufficient to spare a channel of the available memory, the first rank of each of those two DIMMs are spared. If the amount of memory is not large enough to spare an available memory channel, the system spares the DIMM ranks in the lower-numbered sockets. Table 3-2 shows how memory sparing works in various memory configurations.
