Memory Options
Each memory option consists of four 200-pin industry-
standard DIMMs. The DIMMs are synchronous DRAMs.
The Model 1 system supports up to four memory options (16
DIMMs), and the Model 2 system supports up to eight options
(32 DIMMs). Memory options are available in the following
sizes:
•
256 Mbytes (64 MB DIMMs)
•
512 Mbytes (128 MB DIMMs)
•
1 Gbyte (256 MB DIMMs)
•
2 Gbytes (512 MB DIMMs)
With the 2 GB option, Model 1 supports 8 GB memory and
Model 2 supports 16 GB memory. In the future, when 1 GB
DIMMs become available, the maximums will be 16 and 32
GB, as supported by the architecture.

Memory Configuration
A memory option (or set) consists of four DIMMs, and all four
DIMMs must be the same size.
•
Fill sets in numerical order. Populate all 4 slots in Set 0,
then populate Set 1, and so on.
•
An array is one set for systems that support 16 DIMMs
and two sets for systems that support 32 DIMMs.
•
DIMMs in an array must be the same size and type. For
example, suppose you have populated Sets 0, 1, 2, and 3.
When you populate Set 4, the DIMMs must be the same
size and type as those installed in Set 0. Similarly, Set 5
must be populated with the same size and type of DIMMs
as are in Set 1, and so on, as indicated in the following
table.
Array Model 1 System Model 2 System
0 Set 0 Set 0 and Set 4
1 Set 1 Set 1 and Set 5
2 Set 2 Set 2 and Set 6
3 Set 3 Set 3 and Set 7
Memory Performance Considerations
With one memory option (4 DIMMs) installed in either Model
1 or Model 2, memory operation interleaving will not occur.
With two memory options (8 DIMMs), memory read-write
operations are two-way interleaved. Interleaved operations
reduce the average latency and increase the memory
throughput over noninterleaved operations. With four memory
options (16 DIMMs) installed, memory read-write operations
are four-way interleaved, maximizing memory throughput.
