NOTES:

[1]Programmed as 128 bytes by the DIMM OEM

[2]Must be programmed to 256 bytes.

[3]High order bit defines redundant addressing: if set (1), highest order RAS# address must be re-sent as highest order CAS# address.

[4]Refer to memory manufacturer’s datasheet

[5]MSb is Self Refresh flag. If set (1), assembly supports self refresh.

[6]Back-to-back random column addresses.

[7]Field format proposed to JEDEC but not defined as standard at publication time.

[8]Field specified as optional by JEDEC but required by this system.

[9]HP usage. This system requires that the DIMM EEPROM have this space available for reads/writes.

[10]Serial # in ASCII format (MSB is 133). Intended as backup identifier in case vender data is invalid.

Can also be used to indicate s/n mismatch and flag system adminstrator of possible system Tampering. [11]Contains the socket # of the module (first module is “1”). Intended as backup identifier (refer to note [10]).
