SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL Memory Population Rules When considering the memory configuration of your server, you should consider the following items: ■ ■ 46 Each channel has two DIMM slots (for example, channel A = slots A0 and A1). — Each channel can operate with one or two DIMMs installed. — If a channel has only one DIMM, populate slot 0 first (the blue slot). When both CPUs are installed, populate the DIMM slots of each CPU identically.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL Recommended Memory Population This section explains the recommended DIMM population order rules for the C22 M3 server. ■ All DIMMs must be DDR3 DIMMs. ■ Mixing of Registered and Unbuffered DIMMs is not allowed per platform. ■ Do not mix 1333-MHz DIMMs with 1600-MHz DIMMs. Follow Table 24 when populating DIMMs in the server.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL Supported DIMM Populations The supported DIMM populations are listed in Table 25.
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL Low-Voltage DIMM Considerations The C22 M3 server can be ordered with low-voltage (1.35 V) DIMMs only. Note the following considerations: ■ Low-voltage DIMMs within the server must have the identical manufacturer, type, speed, and size. ■ Low-voltage DIMMs and standard-voltage DIMMs can be mixed in the same server. Note that this causes the system BIOS to default to standard-voltage operation (Performance Mode).
SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL RACKS The Cisco R42610 rack (see Figure 8) is certified for Cisco UCS installation at customer sites and is suitable for the following equipment: ■ Cisco UCS B-Series servers and fabric interconnects ■ Cisco UCS C-Series and select Nexus switches The rack is compatible with hardware designed for EIA-standard 19-inch racks. Rack specifications are listed in Table 26. Table 26 Cisco R42610 Rack Specifications Parameter Standard Rack Expansion Rack Dimensions (H x W x D) 78.
