Memory Riser and DIMM Configuration
The motherboard provides eight slots for DIMMs. You can add a pair of memory risers, each
with four DIMM slots, making a total of 16 DIMMs in the server.
The memory configuration rules for the server are as follows:
In all configurations, DIMMs must be identical (same size, same rank classification).
■
In base configurations, all DIMM slots on the motherboard must be fully occupied (eight
■
DIMMs).
In upgrade configurations (16 DIMMs):
■
■
■
DIMM slots on the motherboard must be fully occupied.
Both memory risers must be installed, and both fully occupied.
