Table 4 processor options 10

The system x3550 m4 supports ddr3 memory the server supports up to 12 dimms when one processor is installed and up to 24 dimms when two processors are installed each processor has four memory channels and there are three dimms per channel 10

The x3550 m4 supports the processor options listed in the following table the server supports up to two processors this table shows which server models have each processor standard if there is no corresponding where used model for a particular processor then this processor is only available through cto the part numbers include two system fans 10

All dimms in all cpu memory channels operate at the same speed which is determined as the lowest value of 11

Maximum quantity supported is shown for two processors installed when one processor installed the maximum quantity supported is a half of shown ns not supported 11

Mixing 1 v and 1 5 v dimms in the same server is supported in such cases all dimms operate at 1 v 11

Mixing different types of memory udimms rdimms and lrdimms is not supported 11

Server supports udimms rdimms and lrdimms 11

The following rules apply when selecting the memory configuration 11

The following table parts 1 and 2 shows the characteristics of the supported dimms tables cells highlighted with a gray background indicate when the combination of dimm voltage and the number of dimms per channel still allows the dimms to operate at a rated speed 11

The maximum number of ranks supported per one channel is eight with the exception of load reduced dimms where more than eight ranks are supported because one quad rank lrdimm provides the same electrical load on a memory bus as a single rank rdimm 11

The maximum quantity of dimms that can be installed in server depends on number of cpus dimm type rank and operating voltage as shown in the maximum quantity row in the following table 11

The memory speed supported by the specific cpu the lowest of maximum operating speeds for the selected memory configuration that depends on rated speed operating voltage and quantity of dimms per channel as shown under maximum operating speed section in the following table 11

Ecc chipkill for x4 based memory dimms memory mirroring memory rank sparing 12

If memory mirroring is used then dimms must be installed in pairs a minimum of one pair per each cpu and both dimms in a pair must be identical in type and size 12

If memory rank sparing is used then a minimum of one quad rank dimm or two single rank or dual rank dimms must be installed per populated channel the dimms do not need being identical in rank sparing mode one rank of a dimm in each populated channel is reserved as spare memory the size of a rank varies depending on the dimms installed 12

Maximum quantity supported is shown for two processors installed when one processor installed the maximum quantity supported is a half of shown 12
