SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL
CPUs and DIMMs
Physical Layout
Each CPU controls four serial memory interface (SMI) channels (see Figure 5 on page 14). There is one
memory riser for every two channels. There are therefore two memory risers per CPU. Each CPU channel
drives a memory buffer on a riser card, and each memory buffer converts a CPU SMI into two DDR3
subchannels that each read and write two DIMM pairs on a memory riser.
The physical layout of a memory riser is shown in Figure 9.
Figure 9 Memory Riser Physical Layout
In Figure 9, the buffers and channels are:
■ Buffer 1, subchannel 1: slots 1B and 1D
■ Buffer 1, subchannel 2: slots 1A and 1C
■ Buffer 2, subchannel 1: slots 2B and 2D
■ Buffer 2, subchannel 2: slots 2A and 2C
Memory Population Rules
When considering the memory configuration of your server, you should observe the following:
■ The minimum configuration for the server is at least one matched DIMM pair installed in a
memory riser on either CPU1 or CPU2 All four CPUs can run from a single DIMM pair.
■ DIMMs are required to be populated in pairs. DIMMs for this server are configured as
two-DIMM kits.
