Independent memory mode installation order
In independent memory mode, memory channels can be populated with DIMMs in any order and you can populate all channels for each processor in any order with no matching requirements. Independent memory mode provides the highest level of memory performance, but lacks failover protection. The DIMM installation order for independent memory mode varies based on the number of processors and memory modules installed in the server.
Individual memory channels can run at different DIMM timings, but all channels must run at the same interface frequency.
Independent mode memory population sequence
The following table shows the DIMM population sequence for the independent memory mode.
| Total DIMMs installed | DIMM slot 1 | DIMM slot 2 | DIMM slot 3 | DIMM slot 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | √ | |||
| 2 | √ | √ | ||
| 4† | √ | √ | √ | √ |
- Installation sequence: 1, 4, 2, 3.
- ThinkEdge SE350 V2 only supports the above-listed numbers of DIMMs installed in the node.
