This multi-channel architecture provides enhanced performance in Advanced ECC mode. This architecture also enables Online Spare Memory mode.

DIMM slots in this server are identified by number and by letter. Letters identify the population order. Slot numbers indicate the DIMM slot ID for spare replacement.
