Memory Configuration Guidelines
The memory configuration guidelines for the Prioris ZX 6000MP Series
server are as follows:
• Each memory bank on the main logic board and memory modules
must contain eight SIMMs.
• Minimum memory supported on main logic board is 64 MB (using
eight 8 MB SIMMs) for 1P server configurations and 128 MB (using
16 MB SIMMs) for 2P server configurations.
• Maximum memory supported on main logic board is 512 MB (using
eight 64 MB SIMMs).
• Maximum system memory (main logic board and memory modules)
is 2 GB.
• Bank 0 (interleaves 0-3) is located on the main logic board (Figure
6-1).
• Banks 1, 2, 3 are located on memory module 1 (interleave 0-1).
• Banks 1, 2, 3 are located on memory module 2 (interleave 2-3.
• 8 MB and 64 MB SIMMs cannot be installed with SIMMs of any
other size. Installing illegal combinations of SIMMs will result in a
“DRAM combination error, system halt” message when the server
is booted, and the server will not boot.
• 16 MB and 32 MB SIMMs can be installed together (refer to
memory bank configuration tables in the memory configurations
section later in this chapter).
