Memory options

Lenovo DDR3 memory is compatibility tested and tuned for optimal System x performance and
throughput. Lenovo memory specifications are integrated into the light path diagnostics for immediate
system performance feedback and optimum system uptime. From a service and support standpoint,
Lenovo memory automatically assumes the system warranty, and Lenovo provides service and support
worldwide.
The x3100 M5 has four DIMM slots, and only DDR3 ECC UDIMMs are supported. The CPU has two
memory channels, and there are two DIMMs per channel.
Configuration rules: If you plan to install more than one DIMM, then the DIMMs must be installed in a pair,
and both DIMMs in a pair must be identical in type and size.
The following table lists the memory options that are supported by the server.
