Memory arrays store up to 64, 128, 256, or 512 GB of data per memory
module providing up to 43 TB of raw flash storage per system. The amount of
usable memory in a system is the number of VIMMs used for data storage,
which is four per redundant array of independent disks (RAID) group (up to 64
VIMMs), multiplied by the amount of memory per module, multiplied by the
usable percentage the system is formatted for. For example, in a fully loaded
system with 84 VIMMs, the usable memory is 64 VIMMs multiplied by 128 GB,
multiplied by the usable percentage, such as 87.5%, which is 7.2 TB.
The Memory Array holds up to 84 VIMMs, which operate in the VIMM
configurations listed in the following table.

The Memory Array is available in several VIMM configurations.
VIMM slot numbers used for each configuration. Use the information in the table
when adding, removing, or replacing a non-working VIMM to ensure that the
VIMMs are still in their correct positions. See
information on replacing an errored VIMM.
