4. Position the processor/DIMM blank on the blade system board with the holes on the tabs of the
processor/DIMM blank engaged with the heat sink retention screws on the blade system board.
5. Install the blade system board. For more information, see Installing The Blade System Board.
6. Install the blade in the sleeve.
System memory
Your system supports registered DIMMs (RDIMMs). It supports DDR3 and DDR3L voltage specifications.
NOTE: MT/s indicates DIMM speed in MegaTransfers per second.
Memory bus operating frequency can be 1600 MT/s or 1333 MT/s depending on:
• DIMM configuration (number of ranks)
• maximum frequency of the DIMMs
• DIMM operating voltage
• system profile selected (for example, Performance Optimized, Custom, or Dense Configuration
Optimized)
• maximum supported DIMM frequency of the processors
The following table shows the memory populations and operating frequencies for the supported
configurations.

The system contains six memory sockets split into two sets of three sockets, one set per processor. Each
three-socket set is organized into three channels.
NOTE: DIMMs in sockets A1 to A3 are assigned to processor 1 and DIMMs in sockets B1 to B3 are
assigned to processor 2.
