The populated memory of the six channels (A - F) can be used completely

– Performance channel mode (maximum performance)

The populated memory of the six channels (A - F) can be used completely

– Mirrored channel mode (maximum security)

Only the populated memory of the two channels A and D can be used . The channels B and E serve as safeguarding against failure. The memory belonging to the channels B and E contain the mirrored data of the memory belonging to channel A and D. The channels C and F are not used.

– Spare channel mode (large population and large security)

Only the populated memory of the four channels A, B, D and E can be used. The channels C and F serve as safeguarding against failure.

I Spare channel mode is only supported by Intel® processors of type Intel® Xeon® processors of the 5600 series.

Memory speed

The maximum DDR3 memory speed depends on the memory configuration on one memory channel and on the CPU speed.

One DIMM per channel = max. 1333 MHz, two DIMMs per channel = max. 1333 MHz for 1.5 V memory / max. 1066 MHz for 1.35 V memory, three DIMMs per channel = max. 800 MHz. The memory channel with the lowest speed defines the speed of all CPU channels in the system.
