IBM System x3850 Type 8863: Installation Guide. Introduction This Installation Guide. X3850 server and basic instructions for installing some options. More detailed instructions for installing options are in the User’s Guide on the IBM Documentation CD, which comes with the server. This document contains information about: v.
About this taskThe following notes describe the types of dual inlinememory modules (DIMMs) that the server supports and other informationthat you must consider when you install DIMMs:. To confirm that the server supports the memory modulesthat you are installing, see. All server machine types that are described in thisdocument support 240-pin, double-data-rate (DDR) III, registered synchronousdynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) with error correcting code (ECC)DIMMs. These DIMMs must be compatible with the latest PC3-10600 orPC3-8500 SDRAM registered DIMM specifications.
All machine types support 1.5 V DIMMs; machine types 7143 and7191 also support 1.35 V DIMMs. All machine types support 2 GB PC3-10600 DIMMs and 4 GB, 8 GB,16 GB, and 32 GB (when available) PC3-8500 DIMMs; machine types 7145and 7146 also support 1 GB DIMMs. The server supports up to eight memory cards.
Each memory cardholds up to eight DIMMs. The Intel 7500 Scalable Memory Buffer and the Intel7510 Scalable Memory Buffer are not interchangeable and cannot beused in the same server. To verify that your server supports the memorycard that you are installing, look at the label on the top of thememory card.
If the label does not state that the memory card canbe used only in machine types 7143 and 7191, the memory card can beused only in machine types 7145 and 7146. The server supports an additional 512 GB of memory when the 32-DIMMoptional IBM MAX5 for System x memory expansion module is attachedto the server. The server supports memory sparing. Memory sparingreserves memory capacity for failover in the event of a DIMM failure,and the reserved capacity is subtracted from the total available memory.Memory sparing provides less redundancy than memory mirroring does.If a predetermined threshold of correctable errors is reached thecontents of the failing DIMM are copied to the spare memory, and thefailing DIMM or rank is disabled.
To enable memory sparing throughthe Setup utility, select System Settings Memory. (You cannot usememory mirroring and memory sparing at the same time.). At least one memory card with one pair of DIMMs must be installedfor the server to operate. When you install additional DIMMs on a memory card, be sure toinstall them in pairs. The DIMMs in each pair must match each other.
You do not have to save new configuration information to the IMMwhen you install or remove DIMMs. The only exception is if you replacea DIMM that was designated as disabled in the Setup utility MemorySettings menu.
