Main memory

The system board offers 18 slots for memory modules. 9 memory slots can be used in mono processor configurations.

ECC with memory scrubbing and the Single Device Data Correction (SDDC) function is standard.

There are three modes of operation for the main memory:

–Independent Channel Mode / Performance Mode (recommended)

–Mirrored Channel Mode

–Spare Channel Mode

Depending on the mode of operation there are different population requirements.

Second processor

The system board can be upgraded with a second processor. Only processors of the same type may be used on the system board. That means the number of the internal processor cores as well as the primary clock and the FSB frequency have to be the same. For dual operation, use a suitable multiprocessor operating system.

You can use these bays as follows:
