IBM United States Hardware Announcement 110-225, dated October 7, 2010 New memory options available for the IBM BladeCenter HS22 and HS22V Table of contents 1 Overview 3 Publications 2 Key prerequisites 5 Technical information 2 Planned availability date 7 Terms and conditions 2 Description 8 Prices 2 Product number At a glance New 1.35V 2 GB and 4 GB DDR3 1333 MHz Memory for the IBM BladeCenter HS22 and HS22V. Support for up to two DIMMS per channel running at 1.35V for energy savings versus 1.5V DIMMs Dual voltage support at either 1.35V or 1.5V (three DIMMS per channel at 1.5V only) 4 GB available in both Chipkill TM and Non-Chipkill versions New 1.5V 2 GB DDR3 1333 MHz Memory for the IBM BladeCenter HS22 and HS22V. Overview The HS22 and HS22V support both the Intel Xeon 5500 and 5600 Series Processors. For these processors, memory speed is a specific attribute of the processor. The system memory speed (that is, the speed at which the memory is actually running) depends on several factors including: CPU capability DIMM type or types used (memory speed, RDIMM, Single Rank/Dual Rank) Number of DIMMs populated per channel The Xeon 5600 processor supports both 1.35V and 1.5V memory. Memory options 2GB (1x2GB, 1Rx8, 1.5V) PC3-10600 CL9 ECC DDR3 2GB (1x2GB, 1Rx8, 1.35V) PC3L-10600 CL9 ECC DDR3 4GB (1x4GB, 1Rx4, 1.35V) PC3L-10600 CL9 ECC DDR3 4GB (1x4GB, 2Rx8, 1.35V) PC3L-10600 CL9 ECC DDR3 These high-speed, DDR3 registered DIMMs are synchronized to the processor. Once addressed, data can be transferred on both edges of the clock signal. This significantly improves performance of the front-side bus Xeon MP processors. ECC DIMMs combined with an integrated advanced ECC memory controller with fourth-generation Chipkill support to correct many single-bit, 2-bit, 3-bit, and 4-bit memory errors to minimize disruption of service to LAN clients.
