Memory Module Installation Considerations

The Sun Blade X6270 Server Module supports a variety of DIMM configurations that can include single-rank (SR) DIMMs, dual-rank (DR) DIMMs, or quad-rank (QR) DIMMs. When adding additional memory modules to the Sun Blade X6270 Server Module, you should consider the following:

Physical layout of the DIMMs and CPUs.

For details, see “DIMM and CPU Physical Layout” on page 15.

DIMM population rules.

For details, see “DIMM Population Rules” on page 16.

DIMM and CPU Physical Layout

The physical layout of the DIMMs and CPUs on a Sun Blade X6270 Server Module is shown in FIGURE 2-3.
