Independent memory mode

Independent memory mode supports the memory mirroring and memory rank sparing features. When you use independent memory mode, consider the following. For more information and notes about installing DIMMs, see Installing a memory module. For more information about DIMM population sequence, see Memory mirroring in independent memory mode and Memory rank sparing in independent mode..

• Independent memory mode provides the most efficient performance.
• You can populate DIMMs in any order and there are no matching requirements. However, the DIMM population sequence in the following table will provide the best performance when operating in the supported memory modes.
• When you operate in this mode, the memory channel operates at twice the DDR3 data rate.
• Single-device data correction (SDDC) is supported for x4 SDRAM technology.

The following table lists the installation sequence for independent mode:
