Cisco does not support third-party memory DIMMs, and in some cases their use may irreparably damage the server and require anRMA and down time. Memory Arrangement The blade server contains 24 DIMM slots — 12 for each CPU. Each set of 12 DIMM slots is arranged into four channels, where each channel h...

The figure below shows a logical view of the DIMMs and channels. Figure 20: Logical Representation of DIMMs and Channels DIMMs can be used in the blade server in a one DIMM per Channel (1DPC) configuration, in a two DIMMs per Channel (2DPC)configuration, or a three DIMMs per Channel (3DPC) configura...
