not used in memory-mirroring mode.
The following table lists the DIMM connectors on each memory channel.
Table 8. Connectors on each memory channel
Memory channel DIMM connectors
Channel 0 1, 2, 3, 9, 10, 11
Channel 1 4, 5, 6, 12, 13, 14
Channel 2 7, 8, 15, 16
The following illustration shows the memory connector layout that is associated
with each microprocessor. For example, DIMM connectors 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14,
15, and 16 (DIMM connectors are shown underneath the boxes) are associated
with microprocessor 2 slot (CPU2) and DIMM connectors 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and
8 are associated with microprocessor 1 slot (CPU1). The numbers within the
boxes indicates the installation sequence of the DIMM pairs. For example, the
first DIMM pair (indicated within the boxes by ones (1)) should be installed in
DIMM connectors 3 and 6, which is associated with microprocessor 1 (CPU1).
Note:
You can install DIMMs for microprocessor 2 as soon as you install
microprocessor 2; you do not have to wait until all of the DIMM slots for
microprocessor 1 are filled.
The following table shows the installation sequence for installing DIMMs in
memory-mirroring mode:
