Memory specifications and population
Item
Description
Supported memory types
Registered DDR3 800 / 1066 / 1333 / 1600 MHz
Unbuffered DDR3 800 / 1066 / 1333 MHz
NOTE: Acer does not qualify mixed memory configurations of
memory type, capacity or make.
Population
Acer’s validated memory populations are listed below.
NOTE: Support for 8 / 16 GB DIMMs may vary by regional
availability.
Supported Memory Population
•Each CPU controls twelve DIMM slots. The DIMM slots support four channel DDR3- registered /
unbuffered ECC memory modules. Each channel has three sockets. The farthest socket to CPU is
socket 1 (P1DIMMA1, P1DIMMB1, P1DIMMC1, P1DIMMD1, P2DIMME1, P2DIMMF1, P2DIMMG1,
P2DIMMH1,in blue color), while the nearest one is socket 3 (P1DIMMA3, P1DIMMB3, P1DIMMC3,
P1DIMMD3, P2DIMME3, P2DIMMF3, P2DIMMG3, P2DIMMH3 in black color). For all memory modes,
the socket 1 in each channel needs to be populated first. If socket 1 is empty, socket 2 and 3 can’t be
used. The higher rank and bigger capacity DIMM is suggested to be installed from slot 1.
•3 DIMMs per channel configuration is only supported by single rank and dual rank RDIMM. For UDIMM
and quad rank RDIMM, maximum 2 DIMMs per channel is able to be supported.
•When you are using a single-processor server, you should install the memory module into P1DIMMA1
to P1DIMMD3 slots.
•The P2DIMME1 to P2DIMMH3 slots are enabled when CPU2 is installed on the main board.
•For the system to function, DIMM modules must be installed following the population table listed below.
DIMM module of the same type, size and manufacturer is recommended to be used in a system.
