GR160 F1 specifications
.
Sparing mode:
•In this mode, if system detects degrading memory and system still not crash, the data in failed channel will be copied to spare channel. Failed channel is then isolated and spare channel becomes active. But if any uncorrectable error happens before the isolation, it will still cause the system stop normal operation.
•Follow the population rules described in independent mode.
•Sparing mode need all three channels with identical DIMMs. 1A, 2A and 3A should be the same type, size and manufacturer. 1B, 2B and 3B memory should be the same type, size and manufacturer. Same rule is applied to CPU2.
•Memory sparing mode is only supported by Intel Xeon 5600 series processor. Intel Xeon 5500 series processor does NOT support the memory sparing mode.
•Please refer to the User Guide for complete population for both single and dual processor configurations.
Memory Identification
Generally, there are some memory information printed on the label of DIMM, but different vendor may have different format. For example:
4GB 2Rx4
1.Density
1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB
2.Rank
1R = Single Rank
2R = Dual Rank
4R = Quad Rank
Note: if any quad rank DIMM is used, maximum only 2 DIMM per channel can be supported
3.Bit Organization
This platform supports x4 and x8
Note: It’s not recommend to mix DIMM with different bit organization in one system
4.Speed
PC3 – 6400 => DDR3- 800
PC3 – 8500 => DDR3- 1066
PC3 – 10600 => DDR3- 1333
8
