Memory configuration

I have seen several diagrams of a z14 drawer cluster showing all 6 CPUs with RAM attached, however it seems that there is a maximum of 25 DIMMs(5 per CPU) in a drawer and one of the CPUs does not actually have RAM attached to it.

For clarity's sake maybe the diagram should be changed to reflect this as well as a brief explanation as to why this unusual arrangement exists.

Also the m05 max system is different than the rest in that it actually has 49 active cores per drawer vs 41 for m01-04. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BlackDove (talkcontribs)

Yup. The diagrams will be swapped for updated versions and additional info will be added soon'ish. --David (talk) 15:23, 22 May 2018 (EDT)
