Memory

Each channel pair operates in lockstep; that is, a single cache line is stored across two DIMMs with each DIMM on a different channel of the lockstep pair.

yEight fully buffered DIMM slots for each channel. A cell with two memory boards contains 32 DIMM slots.

yDouble Data Rate 2 533-MHz and 667-MHz fully buffered DIMMs (single, dual, or quad rank).

yDIMM capacities of 2 GB or 4 GB.

yHot-add memory (requires operating system support).

Figure 2-4 shows the channels, channel pairs and fully buffered DIMMs on the memory boards.
