M5000 Memory Config Rules
todd sAug 28 2012 — edited Aug 28 2012Hello,
Iv'e been reading the M5000 Service Manual, XSCF Manual and I'm unclear about the memory configuration rules. Our M5000 is configured as a single domain with half of the server populated. 2 CPU boards and 4 Memory Boards. Each board has 8 x 2GB dimms for 64GB total. We would like to add another 2 Memory Boards (each 8 x 2GB).
This is where the confiusion is, the Configuration Rules say each XSB must have 1, 2 or 4 Memory Boards. But in a UNI-XSB configuration is the whole server one XSB? Can I just add the new memory boards to the next two open slots on the other half? Or do we have to move one of the CPU Boards to the other half of the server? Or is this not possible at all?
Thanks for any info.
