System performance is optimized when the DIMM memory type and the DIMM quantity is equal for both CPUs Caveats m Only Cisco memory is supported Third party DIMMs are not tested or supported R All DIMMs within the B250 M2 server should use the same clock frequencies Mixing clock frequencies is not supported m If the system has two CPUs the DIMM slots for both CPUs should be populated in an identical manner m Populate DIMMs of different size and organization in separate memory channels Populating different sized DIMMs within a channel is not supported For example you cannot put single rank 4GB DIMMs in the same channel as dual rank 4GB DIMMs m The B250 M2 server needs at least one DIMM pair installed for CPU 1 or CPU 2 m Carefully match CPU and DIMM speed If the CPU and DIMM speeds do not match the system runs at the slower of the two speeds m B250 M2 server memory is always sold as a correctly matched pair with identical manufacturer type speed and size intended to be installed together in the two paired banks of a single UCS Server memory channel Mixing of unpaired DIMMs even with other DIMMs sold under the same product ID will result in a memory errors should a mismatch occur When installing DIMMs in a B250 M2 you must add matched pairs to the channel slots 14 Cisco UCS B250 M2 Blade Server CONFIGURING the SERVER in the order shown in the tables of this section This server does not support odd numb
