Front of server | IBM 71453RU guide

vWhen you restart the server after you add or remove a DIMM, the server displays a message that the memory configuration has changed.

vMemory cards in connectors 1 and 2 support microprocessor 1, memory cards in connectors 3 and 4 support microprocessor 2, memory cards in connectors 5 and 6 support microprocessor 3, and memory cards in connectors 7 and 8 support microprocessor 4.

vThere are four memory power buses, which are split among the eight memory cards.

vPopulate the memory-card connectors to match the microprocessor installation, in the following order: 1, 7, 3, 5, 2, 8, 4, 6. (Microprocessors must be installed in the following order: 1, 4, 2, and 3. See “Installing a microprocessor” on page 73 for more information.)

The following illustration shows the locations of the memory-card connectors.
