Processor sockets are self-contained and autonomous. However, all memory
subsystem support (such as Memory RAS and Error Management) in the BIOS setup is
applied commonly across processor sockets.
The BLUE memory slots on the server board identify the first memory slot for a given
memory channel.
DIMM population rules require that DIMMs within a channel be populated starting with the
BLUE DIMM slot or DIMM farthest from the processor in a “fill-farthest” approach. In addition,
when populating a quad-rank DIMM with a single- or dual-rank DIMM in the same channel, the
quad rank DIMM must be populated farthest from the processor. Note that quad-rank DIMMs
and UDIMMs are not allowed in three slots populated configurations. Intel
®
MRC will check for
correct DIMM placement.
The nomenclature for DIMM sockets on the Intel
®
Server Board S2600CW is detailed in the
following table.
