Dell PowerEdge C8000 Memory Configuration

Each system board has 16 memory module sockets for the installation of DDR3 unbuffered Error Correcting Code DIMMs (ECC UDIMMS), registered DIMMs (RDIMMs), and load reduced DIMMs (LRDIMMs) to support processor 1 and processor 2.
Use only memory modules in 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, and 32 GB capacities. DIMM types cannot be mixed.
DIMMs must be installed in each channel starting with the DIMM socket farthest from the processor.

The number of channels used and the allowable configuration depend on the memory mode selected in the System Setup program.
For Independent Non Mirroring Mode, populate the system board as follows;

For 1 processer, populate in order of;
A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, and A8

For 2 processer's, populate in order of;
A1,B1, A2, B2, A3, B3, A4, B4, A5, B5, A6, B6, A7, B7, A8, B8

Memory sparing and memory mirroring are supported on the sled system board.

Memory sparing requires that all the DIMMs are identically populated in all 4 channels. One rank of each channel will be the spare in this mode. This spare will not be accessible as system memory until brought online to replace a failing channel. If persistent correctable errors are detected on a rank, the data from this rank is copied to the spare rank and the failed rank is disabled. With memory sparing enabled, the system memory available to the operating system is reduced by one rank per channel.

For memory mirroring, two channels operate as mirrors for each other, identical DIMMs must be installed in the same slots across both channels.
