Memory module installation
The following notes describe the types of DIMMs that the server supports and other information that you
must consider when you install DIMMs.
• When you install or remove DIMMs, the server configuration information changes. When you restart the
server, the system displays a message that indicates that the memory configuration has changed.
• The server supports only industry-standard double-data-rate 4 (DDR4) 2400 MHz PC4-19200 registered
or load reduction, synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory modules
(DIMMs) with error correcting code (ECC). See http://www.lenovo.com/ serverproven/ for a list of
supported memory modules for the server.
– The specifications of a DDR4 DIMM are on a label on the DIMM, in the following format. gggggeRxff
