To support memory sparing, all eight DIMM sockets of each CPU must be populated. When enabled, memory sparing allocates and reserves one rank of memory from the installed DIMMs and is large enough to act as spare memory in the event of a memory rank failure where the contents of the failed rank is copied to the spared rank.

Table 3-2. Memory Configurations (Two Processors)

NOTE: DIMMs A1–A8 are assigned to processor 1, DIMMs B1–B8 are assigned to processor 2, and so on.
