There seems te be a discrepanty in the memory placement rules with: Power Systems Memory Modules (SA76-0154-02)
According to the Technical Overview only 2, 4 or 8 DIMMS are allowed.
According to SA76-0154-02 (table 2) it is also possible to place 6 DIMMS
Who is to believe?

Thanks for your comment. The sales manual, and the Redbook agree, or as follows: Memory must be installed in groups of 1 feature (2 DIMMs), 2 features (4 DIMMs), or 4 features (8 DIMMs) per processor card. Installation of 3 features (6 DIMMs) is not permitted.

I'll try to locate that publication and its owner and reconcile.

on page 14 we can read: "#8345 is the optional, higher
function DASD backplane with an external SAS port. It provides dual paths from the SAS controller to each internal disk drive using SAS expanders. This option, along with #5679,
provides for internal RAID levels 0, 5, 6, and 10."
Shouldn't the #8345 be replaced with #8346?

I've updated the 520 and 550 paper with the correct backplane feature code. Thanks!
