Note: Only fully buffered DDR2 DIMMs (FBDIMMs) are supported on this server board. For a

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.

However, DIMM capacities can be different between different DIMM pairs.

For example, a valid mixed DIMM configuration may have 512-MB DIMMs installed in DIMM

slots A1 and B1, and 1-GB DIMMs installed in DIMM slots C1 and D1.

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

Supported and Validated configuration : Slot is populated

Supported but not validated configuration : Slot is

populated

Slot is not populated

Mirroring: Y = Yes. Indicates that configuration supports Memory Mirroring.

Sparing: Y(x) = Yes. Indicates that configuration supports Memory Sparing.

Where x = 0 : Sparing supported on Branch 0 only

1 : Sparing supported on Branch 1 only

0, 1 : Sparing supported on both branches
