The following configurations are not validated or supported with the Intel

Compute Module MFS5000SI:

DDR2 DIMMs that are not fully buffered are NOT supported on this server board.

DDR2-533 memory is not planned to be validated on this product.

Mixing memory type, size, speed, and/or rank is not validated and is not supported.

Mixing memory vendors is not validated and is not supported.

Non-ECC memory is not validated and is not supported in a server environment

For a complete list of supported memory for the Intel

Compute Module MFS5000SI, refer to the Tested

Memory List published in the Intel

Server Configurator Tool.

3.1.3.3 DIMM Population Rules and Supported DIMM Configurations

DIMM population rules depend on the operating mode of the memory controller, which is determined by

the number of DIMMs installed. DIMMs must be populated in pairs. DIMM pairs are populated in the

following DIMM slot order: A1 and B1, C1 and D1, A2 and B2, C2 and D2. DIMMs within a given pair

must be identical with respect to size, speed, and organization.

Intel supported DIMM configurations for this server board are shown in the following table.
