When Replacing Faulty FB-DIMMs

Within each branch, ensure that the replacement FB-DIMM has the same part number as the FB-DIMM you are removing. If you are unable to obtain an FB-DIMM with the same part number, you might need to replace all FB-DIMMs in the branch to ensure that they all have the same part number.

The following table lists the supported FB-DIMMs and part numbers.

2.2.1.1DIMM Installation Rules

Caution – The following FB-DIMM rules must be followed. The server module might not operate correctly if the FB-DIMM rules are not followed. Always use DIMMs that have been qualified by Sun.

FB-DIMMs must be installed in groups of four, each of the same capacity.

The following configurations are supported in the Sun Blade T6320 server module:

■Four FB-DIMMs (Group 1) Channel 0, FB-DIMM connector 0 in all branches must be populated.

■Eight FB-DIMMs (Groups 1 and 2)

■Sixteen FB-DIMMs (Groups 1, 2 and 3)

See Section 4.3.1, “Removing the DIMMs” on page 4-10 for FB-DIMM installation instructions. FIGURE 2-3shows where to to install FB-DIMMs in groups of four.
