3.3 Memory Subsystem
The Intel
®
Xeon
®
Processor 5500 Series on the Intel
®
Workstation Board S5520SC are
populated on CPU sockets. Each processor installed on the CPU socket has an integrated
memory controller (IMC), which supports up to three DDR3 channels and groups DIMMs on the
workstation into autonomous memory.
3.3.1 Memory Subsystem Nomenclature
The nomenclature for DIMM sockets implemented in the Intel
®
Workstation Board S5520SC is
represented in the following figures.
z DIMMs are organized into physical slots on DDR3 memory channels that belong to
processor sockets.
z The memory channels for CPU 1 socket are identified as Channels A, B, and C. The
memory channels for CPU 2 socket are identified as Channels D, E, and F.
z The DIMM identifiers on the silkscreen on the board provide information about which
channel/CPU Socket they belong to. For example, DIMM_A1 is the first slot on
Channel A of CPU 1 socket. DIMM_D1 is the first slot on Channel D of CPU 2
Socket.
z Processor sockets are self-contained and autonomous. However, all configurations
in the BIOS setup, such as RAS, Error Management, and so forth, are applied
commonly across sockets.
The Intel
®
Workstation Board S5520SC supports six DDR3 memory channels (three channels
per processor) with two DIMM slots per channel, thus supporting up to 12 DIMMs in a two-
