Console Redirection
The console redirection allows a remote user to diagnose and fix problems on a system, which has not successfully booted the operating system. The centerpiece of the console redirection is the BIOS Console. The BIOS Console is a Flash ROM-resident utility that redirects input and output over a serial or modem connection. The BIOS supports console redirection to a serial port. If serial port based headless system support is provided by the system, the system must provide support for redirection of all BIOS driven console I/O to the serial port. The driver for the serial console must be capable of supporting the functionality documented in the ANSI Terminal Definition.

System Memory
Your system supports DDR3 registered DIMMs (RDIMMs). Single and dual-rank DIMMs can be 1067 or 1333 MHz, and quad-rank DIMMs can be 1067 MHz. The system contains 18 memory sockets split into two sets of nine sockets, one set for each processor. Each nine-socket set is organized into three channels of three memory sockets per channel. The maximum memory that is supported on your system varies according to the types and sizes of memory modules being used: Single-rank, dual-rank, and quad-rank RDIMMs of sizes 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB, and 8 GB are supported for a total of up to 144 GB. Quad-rank RDIMMs (two per channel) are supported for a total of up to 96 GB.
61
The memory speed of each channel depends on the memory configuration: For single- or dual-rank memory modules: One memory module per channel supports up to 1333 MHz. Two memory modules per channel supports up to 1067 MHz. One memory module per channel supports up to 1067 MHz. Two memory modules per channel are limited to 800 MHz, regardless of memory module speed.
If quad-rank memory modules are mixed with single- or dual-rank modules, the quad-rank modules must be installed in the sockets with the white release levers. If memory modules with different speeds are installed, they operate at the speed of the slowest installed memory module(s).
Mode-Specific Guidelines
Three memory channels are allocated to each processor. The number of channels used and the allowable configurations depend on the memory mode selected.
Optimizer (Independent Channel) Mode
In this mode, all three channels are populated with identical memory modules. This mode permits a larger total memory capacity but does not support SDDC with x8-based memory modules. A minimal single-channel configuration of one 1 GB memory module per processor is also supported in this mode. Table 3-1 shows sample memory configurations that follow the appropriate memory guidelines stated in this section. The samples show identical memory-module configurations and their the physical and available memory totals. The tables do not show mixed or quad-rank memory-module configurations, nor do they address the memory speed considerations of any configuration.
