One channel per CPU populated:

This is a simple Memory Optimized mode. Mirroring is not supported.

The PowerEdge R710 memory interface supports memory demand and patrol scrubbing, single-bit correction and multi-bit error detection. Correction of a x4 or x8 device failure is also possible with SDDC in the Advanced ECC mode. Additionally, correction of a x4 device failure is possible in the Memory Optimized mode. If DIMMs of different speeds are mixed, all channels will operate at the fastest common frequency. RDIMMs and UDIMMs cannot be mixed.

If memory mirroring is enabled, identical DIMMs must be installed in the same slots across both channels.

The third channel of each processor is unavailable for memory mirroring.

The first DIMM slot in each channel is color-coded with white ejection tabs for ease of installation.

The DIMM sockets are placed 450 mils (11.43 mm) apart, center-to-center in order to provide enough space for sufficient airflow to cool stacked DIMMs.

The PE R710 memory system supports up to 18 DIMMs. DIMMs must be installed in each channel starting with the DIMM farthest from the processor. Population order will be identified by the silkscreen designator and the System Information Label (SIL) located on the chassis cover.

Memory Optimized: {1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}, {7, 8, 9}

Advanced ECC or Mirrored: {2, 3}, {5, 6}, {8, 9}

Quad Rank or UDIMM: {1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}, {7, 8, 9}
