• The UDIMM option that is available for the server is 4 GB. The server supports a minimum of 4 GB and a
maximum of 64 GB of system memory using UDIMMs.
• The RDIMM options that are available for the server are 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB, and 16 GB. The server
supports a minimum of 2 GB and a maximum of 384 GB of system memory using RDIMMs.
• The LRDIMM option that is available for the server is 32 GB. The server supports a minimum of 32 GB
and a maximum of 768 GB of system memory using LRDIMMs.
Note: The amount of usable memory is reduced depending on the system configuration. A certain
amount of memory must be reserved for system resources. To view the total amount of installed memory
and the amount of configured memory, run the Setup utility. For additional information, see "Configuring
the server" on page 100.
• A minimum of one DIMM must be installed for each microprocessor. For example, you must install a
minimum of two DIMMs if the server has two microprocessors installed. However, to improve system
performance, install a minimum of four DIMMs for each microprocessor.
• DIMMs in the server must be the same type (RDIMM, UDIMM, or LRDIMM) to ensure that the server
will operate correctly.
• When you install one quad-rank DIMM in a channel, install it in the DIMM connector furthest away from
the microprocessor.
1. You can install DIMMs for microprocessor 2 as soon as you install microprocessor 2; you do not have
to wait until all of the DIMM slots for microprocessor 1 are filled.
2. DIMM slots 13-24 are reserved for microprocessor 2; thus, DIMM slots 13-24 are enabled when
microprocessor 2 is installed.
The following illustration shows the location of the DIMM connectors on the system board.
