PCIe®specifications
The primary I/O bus for the main board is PCIe Gen2. The following table lists the characteristics of the
PCI-E bus segments. Details about each bus segment follow the table.
NOTE: The signaling bit rate of PCI Express is 2.5Gbit/s one direction per lane for Gen 1 and 5.0Gbit/s one
direction per lane for Gen 2.

* support depends on 8GB/16GB DIMM available
Mirroring mode:
•For mirroring mode, the memory contains a primary image and a copy of the primary image. Therefore,
the effective size of memory is reduced by at least one-half.
•Follow the population rules described in independent mode.
•Mirroring mode needs the channel 1 & channel 2 with identical DIMM. DIMM slot populations within a
channel do not have to be identical but the same DIMM slot location across channel 1 and channel 2
must be the same. DIMM1A and DIMM2A should be the same type, size and manufacturer. DIMM1B
and DIMM2B memory should be the same type, size and manufacturer.
•Same rule is applied to the CPU2.
•Please refer to the User Guide for complete population for both single and dual processor
configurations.
Lockstep mode:
•In Lockstep Channel Mode, each memory access is a 128-bit data access that spans Channel 1 and
Channel 2. This is done to support SDDC for DRAM devices with 8-bit wide data ports. The same
address is used on both channels such that an address error on any channel is detectable by bad
ECC. Lockstep Channel mode is the only RAS mode that supports x8 SDDC.
•Follow the population rules described in independent mode.
•Lockstep mode needs the channel 1 & channel 2 with identical DIMM. DIMM slot populations within a
channel do not have to be identical but the same DIMM slot location across channel 1 and channel 2
must be the same. DIMM1A and DIMM2A should be the same type, size and manufacturer. DIMM1B
and DIMM2B memory should be the same type, size and manufacturer.
•Same rule is applied to the CPU2.
•Please refer to the User Guide for complete population for both single and dual processor
configurations.

GT150 F1 specifications
.
Sparing mode:
•In this mode, if system detects degrading memory and system still not crash, the data in failed channel
will be copied to spare channel. Failed channel is then isolated and spare channel becomes active. But if
any uncorrectable error happens before the isolation, it will still cause the system stop normal operation.
•Follow the population rules described in independent mode.
•Sparing mode need all three channels with identical DIMMs. 1A, 2A and 3A should be the same type,
size and manufacturer. 1B, 2B and 3B memory should be the same type, size and manufacturer. Same
rule is applied to CPU2.
•Memory sparing mode is only supported by Intel Xeon 5600 series processor. Intel Xeon 5500 series
processor does NOT support the memory sparing mode.
•Please refer to the User Guide for complete population for both single and dual processor
configurations.
Memory Identification
Generally, there are some memory information printed on the label of DIMM, but different vendor may have
different format. For example:
4GB 2Rx4 PC3-10600R xx xx xxx
1. Density
1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB
2. Rank
1R = Single Rank
2R = Dual Rank
4R = Quad Rank
Note: if any quad rank DIMM is used, maximum only 2 DIMM per channel can be supported
3. Bit Organization
This platform supports x4 and x8
Note: It’s not recommend to mix DIMM with different bit organization in one system
4. Speed
PC3 – 6400 => DDR3- 800
PC3 – 8500 => DDR3- 1066
PC3 – 10600 => DDR3- 1333
