■ Choose any one CPU from Table 3 or Table 4.
(2) Two-CPU Configuration
■ Choose two identical CPUs from any one of the rows of Table 3 or Table 4.
Caveats
■ You must select either one CPU or two identical CPUs.
■ For optimal performance, select DIMMs with the highest clock speed for a given processor. If
you select DIMMs whose speeds are lower or higher than that shown in the tables,
suboptimal performance will result.

STEP 3 CHOOSE MEMORY
The standard memory features are:
■ DIMMs
— Clock speed: 1333 or 1066 MHz
— Ranks per DIMM: 1, 2, or 4
— Operational voltage: 1.5 or 1.35 V
—Registered
■ DDR3 ECC registered DIMMs (RDIMMs), supporting Intel SDDC
■ Memory is organized with three memory channels per CPU, with up to two DIMMs per
channel, as shown in

Choose DIMMs and Memory Mirroring
Select the memory configuration and whether or not you want the memory mirroring option.
The available memory DIMMs and mirroring option are listed in
NOTE: When memory mirroring is enabled, the memory subsystem simultaneously
writes identical data to two channels. If a memory read from one of the channels
returns incorrect data due to an uncorrectable memory error, the system
automatically retrieves the data from the other channel. A transient or soft error in
one channel does not affect the mirrored data, and operation continues unless there
is a simultaneous error in exactly the same location on a DIMM and its mirrored
DIMM. Memory mirroring reduces the amount of memory available to the operating
system by 50% because only one of the two populated channels provides data.
The available memory DIMMs are listed in Table 5.

for both CPUs.

Caveats
■ DIMM voltage:
— Y ou can mix dual voltage DIMMs (operate at either 1.5 V or 1.35 V) and single voltage
— Dual-voltage DIMMs can be operated in either of these modes:
■ Memory mirroring:
If you select the Memory RAS option, be aware that it is available only with an even
number of memory channels. For example, if you select six DIMMs and select
Reliability/Availability/Serviceability (RAS), mirroring will go into effect on only two
channels with two DIMMS per channel (you cannot implement RAS on three channels). In
this case, two DIMMS would go unused.
CONFIGURING the SERVER
DIMMs (operate at only 1.5 V).
• Power Saving Mode at a maximum speed of 1066 MHz
• Performance Mode at a maximum speed of 1333 MHz
If you mix both types of DIMMs in your configuration, the server forces all DIMMs to
operate in Performance Mode.
NOTE: For memory mirroring, DIMM pairing across buses must be identical.
If you only have two DIMMs, they need to be the same PID because you have
one DIMM on each of two buses.
If you have four DIMMs in a 2-CPU system, for example, you can have two
4-GB and two 8-GB DIMMs. One 4-GB/8-GB DIMM pair would located on
Channel A of CPU 1, and one 4-GB/8-GB DIMM pair would be located on
Channel D of CPU 2.
If you have four DIMMs in a 1-CPU system, for example, you can have two
4-GB and two 8-GB DIMMs. One 4-GB/8-GB DIMM pair would located on
Channel A of CPU 1, and one 4-GB/8-GB DIMM pair would be located on
Channel B of CPU 1.

Unified Computing Drive Retention Service
With the Cisco Unified Computing Drive Retention (UCDR) service, you can obtain a new disk
drive in exchange for a faulty drive without returning the faulty drive. In exchange for a Cisco
replacement drive, you provide a signed Certificate of Destruction (CoD) confirming that the
drive has been removed from the system listed, is no longer in service, and has been destroyed.
Sophisticated data recovery techniques have made classified, proprietary, and confidential
information vulnerable, even on malfunctioning disk drives. The UCDR service enables you to
retain your drives and ensures that the sensitive data on those drives is not compromised,
thereby reducing the risk of any potential liabilities. This service also enables you to comply
with regulatory, local, and federal requirements.
If your company has a need to control confidential, classified, sensitive, or proprietary data, you
might want to consider one of the Drive Retention Services listed in
NOTE: Cisco does not offer a certified drive destruction service as part of this
service.

ORDER OPTIONAL KVM CABLE
The KVM cable provides a connection into the server, providing a DB9 serial connector, a VGA connector for
a monitor, and dual USB 2.0 ports for a keyboard and mouse. With this cable, you can create a direct
connection to the operating system and the BIOS running on the server.
The KVM cable ordering information is listed in Table 15.

DIMM and CPU Layout
Each CPU controls three memory channels, as follows (refer to Figure 6 on page 27):
■ CPU1: Channels A, B, and C
— Bank 1 - A1, B1, and C1 (blue DIMM slots)
— Bank 2 - A2, B2, and C2 (black DIMM slots)
■ CPU2: Channels D, E, and F
— Bank 1 - D1, E1, and F1 (blue DIMM slots)
— Bank 2 - D2, E2, and F2 (black DIMM slots)
The DIMM and CPU physical layout is shown in Figure 6. The 6 DIMM slots at the upper right are controlled
by the CPU on the right (CPU1) and the 6 DIMM slots at the lower left are controlled by the CPU on the left
(CPU2).

Memory Population Recommendations
Table 16 shows the prefer red order for installing upgrade DIMMs, and while other configurations may work,
if problems arise, moving them to the preferred arrangement should help.

SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL
When considering the memory configuration of your server, you should observe the following:
■ DIMMs within the blade server should all be the same type. This goes for both speed and
size. Do not mix different sized DIMMs or DIMMs with different clock rates in the same blade
server. Doing so will cause a significant loss of performance.
■ Your selected CPU(s) can have some effect on performance.
■ DIMMs can be run in a 1 DIMM per channel or a two DIMM per channel configuration. Each of
these arrangements can provide different behavior.
