Cisco Systems A03D600GA2 manual Dimm Memory Speeds, Dpc

CONFIGURING the SERVER

Caveats

■System speed is dependent on how many DIMMs are populated per channel. See Table 5 for details.

Notes . . .

1.These DIMMs operate at 1333 MHz instead of 1600 MHz when used with any E5-2600 CPUs. They operate at 1600 MHz when used with E5-2600 v2 CPUs that support 1600- and 1866-MHz speeds.

2.1866-MHz DIMMs are only offered and supported with E5-2600 v2 CPU-configured servers

■For optimum performance, do not mix DIMMs with different frequencies. If you mix DIMM frequencies, the system defaults to the lower frequency.

■Do not mix RDIMMs, LRDIMMs, or UDIMMs

■DIMMs for CPU 1 and CPU 2 (when populated) must always be configured identically.

■The server supports 1 or 2 DIMMs per channel for single- or dual-rank RDIMMs.

■The server supports 1 or 2 DIMMs per channel for quad-rank LRDIMMs.

■When using mirroring, DIMMs must be installed in identical pairs across paired DDR3 buses. That is, mirrored pairs in channels A and B must be identical and pairs in channels C and D must be identical. However, the DIMMs used in channels A and B and in C and D can be different.

■Non-ECC DIMMs are not supported.

■Memory mirroring reduces the amount of available memory by 50% (quantity of DIMMs must be even for mirroring).

■When single- and dual-rank DIMMs are populated for 2DPC, always populate the dual rank DIMM in the blue DIMM slot, and the single-rank DIMM in the black DIMM slot (only the 4GB DIMMs are single-rank).
