14 MFMAXDATA PLATINUM 300 IR M6Board Features
Hardware Requirements
To avoid integration difficulties and possible board damage, your system must meet the requirements
outlined below.
Memory
The Server Board provides four DIMM sockets across two channels, Channel A and Channel B. Channel
A consists of DIMM sockets 1A and 2A. Channel B consists of DIMM sockets 1B and 2B.
A minimum of one 256 MB DIMM is required in DIMM socket 1A. This uses single-channel interleave.
However, for dual-channel interleave, providing optimum performance, a minimum of two DIMMs
should be installed in DIMM sockets 1A and 1B. Except for the option of installing a single DIMM in
socket 1A or 1B, DIMMs must be installed in pairs and populated as follows:
• DIMM1A and DIMM 1B: Populate these two sockets together first.
• DIMM 2A and DIMM 2B: Populate these sockets in addition to DIMM 1A and DIMM 1B if four
DIMMs are to be used.
DIMMs must meet the following requirements:
• DDR2 400/533/667, un-buffered, DDR2 DIMM modules
• DIMM organization: x72 ECC or x64 Non-ECC
• Pin count: 240
• DIMM capacity: 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB DIMMs
• Serial PD: JEDEC Rev 2.0
• Serial PD: JEDEC Rev 2.0
• Interface: SSTL2
In order to operate in Dual Channel Dynamic Paging Mode, the following conditions must be met:
• Two identical DIMMs are installed, one each in DIMM_1A and DIMM_1B
• Four identical DIMMs are installed (one in each socket location)
Installing only 3 DIMMs is not supported. Do not use DIMMs that are not “matched” (same type and
speed). Use of identical memory parts is always the preferred method.
