Memory Population Rules
When considering the memory configuration of your server, you should consider the following items:
■ Each channel has three DIMM slots (for example, channel A = slots A1, A2, and A3).
— A channel can operate with one, two, or three DIMMs installed.
— If a channel has only one DIMM, populate slot 1 first (the blue slot).
■ When both CPUs are installed, populate the DIMM slots of each CPU identically.
— Fill blue slots in the channels first: A1, E1, B1, F1, C1, G1, D1, H1
— Fill black slots in the channels second: A2, E2, B2, F2, C2, G2, D2, H2
— Fill white slots in the channels third: A3, E3, B3, F3, C3, G3, D3, H3
■ Any DIMM installed in a DIMM socket for which the CPU is absent is not recognized.
■ Observe the DIMM mixing rules shown in Table 32
Table 32 DIMM Rules for C220 M4 Servers
DIMM Parameter DIMMs in the Same Channel
DIMM in the Same Slot
1
1. Although you can have different DIMM capacities in the same slot, this will result in less than optimal
performance. For optimal performance, all DIMMs in the same slot should be identical.
DIMM Capacity
RDIMM = 8 or 16 GB
LRDIMM = 32 GB
DIMMs in the same channel (for
example, A1, A2, and A3) can have
different capacities.
You cannot mix 32 or 64 GB
LRDIMMs with any RDIMM
For best performance, DIMMs in the
same slot (for example, A1, B1, C1,
D1) should have the same capacity.
You cannot mix 32 or 64 GB LRDIMMs
with any RDIMM
DIMM Speed
2133-MHz

2. Only 2133-MHz DIMMs are currently available for the C220 M4 server.
DIMMs will run at the lowest speed
of the DIMMs/CPUs installed
DIMMs will run at the lowest speed of
the DIMMs/CPUs installed
DIMM Type
RDIMMs or LRDIMMs You cannot mix DIMM types in a
channel
You cannot mix DIMM types in a slot
DIMMs per Channel (DPC)
1 DPC, 2 DPC, or 3 DPC
See Table 5 on page 17 for
valid LRDIMM and RDIMM 1 DPC, 2 DPC, and 3 DPC memory configurations
