Figure 35. Installing a hard drive into the hard drive carrier System memory System memory guidelines The system support DDR4 Registered DIMMs (RDIMMs), Load Reduced DIMMs (LRDIMMs), and Non-Volatile DIMMs (NVDIMM-Ns). System memory holds the instructions that are executed by the processor. Your system contains 24 memory sockets split into two sets of 12 sockets, one set per processor. Each 12-socket set is organized into six channels. Six memory channels are allocated to each processor.
Figure 36. Memory socket locations Memory channels are organized as follows: Table 37.
General memory module installation guidelines To ensure optimal performance of your system, observe the following general guidelines when configuring your system memory. If your system's memory configurations fail to observe these guidelines, your system might not boot, stop responding during memory configuration, or operate with reduced memory.
Mode-specific guidelines The configurations allowed depend on the memory mode selected in the System BIOS. Table 38. Memory operating modes Memory Operating Mode Description Optimizer Mode The Optimizer Mode if enabled, the DRAM controllers operate independently in the 64-bit mode and provide optimized memory performance.
Optimizer Mode This mode supports Single Device Data Correction (SDDC) only for memory modules that use x4 device width. It does not impose any specific slot population requirements. • Dual processor: Populate the slots in round robin sequence starting with processor 1. NOTE: Processor 1 and processor 2 population should match. Table 39.
Processor Configuration Memory population Memory population information • For 16 DIMMs: A1, A2, A4, A5, A7, A8, A10, A11 B1, B2, B4, B5, B7, B8, B10, B11 Mirroring population order A{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, B{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, A{7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12}, B{7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12} Mirroring is supported with 6 or 12 DIMMs per processor.

WARNING: Allow the memory modules to cool after you power off the system. Handle the memory modules by the card edges and avoid touching the components or metallic contacts on the memory module.
CAUTION: To ensure proper system cooling in configurations with mid hard drive tray, memory module blanks must be installed in any memory socket that is not occupied. Remove memory module blanks only if you intend to install memory modules in those sockets. NOTE: You must follow the thermal restriction while using DIMM blank. For information about thermal restriction, see Thermal restrictions. Steps 1 Locate the appropriate memory module socket.
Processors and heat sinks The processor contains memory, peripheral interfaces, and other components of the system. It may have multiple cores. The system can have more than one processor configurations. The heat sink absorbs the heat generated by the processor, and helps the processor to maintain its optimal temperature level. Removing a processor and heat sink module Prerequisites WARNING: The heat sink may be hot to touch for some time after the system has been powered down.
Figure 40. Removing a heat sink (1U) Next step 1 Install the PHM module. Removing a processor from processor heat sink module Prerequisites WARNING: The heat sink may be hot to touch for some time after the system has been powered down. Allow the heat sink to cool before removing it. 1 Follow the safety guidelines listed in Safety instructions. 2 Follow the procedure listed in Before working inside your system. 3 Remove the processor and heat sink module.

NOTE: When two identical PSUs are installed, power supply redundancy (1+1 – with redundancy or 2+0 – without redundancy) is configured in system BIOS. In redundant mode, power is supplied to the system equally from both PSUs when Hot Spare is disabled. When Hot Spare is enabled, one of the PSUs is put into the sleep mode when system utilization is low in order to maximize efficiency. NOTE: If two PSUs are used, they must be of the same maximum output power.
Installing a power supply unit The procedure for installing AC and DC PSUs is identical. Prerequisites 1 Follow the safety guidelines listed in Safety instructions. 2 For systems that support redundant PSU, ensure that both the PSUs are of the same type and have the same maximum output power.

A BOSS card Introduction to BOSS card BOSS is a simple RAID solution card designed specifically for booting a system's operating system. The card supports up to two 6 Gbps M. 2 SATA drives. The BOSS adapter card has a x8 connector using PCIe gen 2.0 x2 lanes, available only in the low-profile and half-height form factor. The BOSS modular card has a dedicated slot in blade systems. NOTE: There are no status LEDs on the BOSS card. Figure 81. Features of BOSS card 1 SATA drive connector (2) 3 80 mm M.
• XC640 • XC6420 • XC740xd • XC940 BOSS card features BOSS card supports the following features: • Foreign Import • SMART Info • Auto-Rebuild Foreign Import A virtual disk is considered foreign if it is not native to the adapter. • A virtual disk is considered native to the adapter if: – The virtual disk was created or imported on the adapter.
Removing the BOSS card About this task CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that are shipped with your product.
NOTE: It is recommended that you always use a static mat and static strap while working on components inside the system. 2 Open the system cover. 3 Remove the card. See Removing the BOSS card. 4 Loosen the screws and lift the retention straps that secure the M.2 SSD module on the BOSS card. 5 Pull the M.2 SSD module away from the BOSS card. Figure 83.

Figure 85. Installing the BOSS card 1 BOSS card 2 card connector on the system board Driver installation The BOSS card uses the native AHCI driver of the supported operating systems. Windows driver installation — Dell provides the Dell Update Package (DUP) to update drivers on systems running Windows Server 2012 R2 and newer operating system. DUP is an executable application that updates drivers for specific devices. DUP supports command line interface and silent execution.
Virtual disk not visible to operating system Issue: In RAID mode a virtual disk is not appearing for use by an operating system. Probable cause: Virtual disks will not be presented to the system if they are not native to the controller. Corrective action: Import the virtual disk using Hardware-Independent Imaging (HII). Drive failure Issue: An installed drive is not listed in the BOSS configuration utility. OpenManage reports Physical Disk offline state.
Probable cause: Working as designed, BIOS only allows booting from the first listed boot device (in this case, slot 0) per peripheral controller. This only occurs in legacy BIOS boot mode. Corrective action: Swap the drive in slot 1 to slot 0. CLI reports unsupported features Issue: Several commands, options, or other features listed by the Marvell CLI state that they are unsupported when run.
