Upgrading Memory and Memory Interleaving
DIMMs must be installed in identical pairs. Bank interleaving is automatically enabled on a processor node under the following
conditions:
Four single ranked DIMMs populated per node (4 x 1 GB or 4 x 2 GB for example) yields 2-way bank interleaving.
Two dual ranked DIMMs populated per node (2 x 4 GB or 2 x 8 GB for example) yields 2-way bank interleaving.
Four dual ranked DIMMs populated per node (4 x 4 GB or 4 x 8 GB for example) yields 4-way bank interleaving.
If single and dual ranked DIMMs are mixed on the same node, bank interleaving will not be enabled.
If single and dual ranked DIMMs are mixed on the same node, bank interleaving will not be enabled.
Node interleaving can be configured via RBSU if both processors have the same memory footprint and it is independent of bank
interleaving.
DIMMs must be installed in decreasing capacity with the largest DIMMs installed in the banks furthest away from each processor.
Standard Memory Plus Optional Memory
Up to 56 GB memory is available with the standard memory and the optional installation of 6 x 8GB PC2-5300 DIMMs.
Standard Memory Replaced with Optional Memory
