2.4 Memory Support and Installation

Notes: Check the Supermicro website for recommended memory modules. Exercise
extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules to prevent any damage.

Memory Support

The motherboard supports up to 2TB of Registered DIMM (RDIMM), Load Reduced DIMM
(LRDIMM), 3D LRDIMM, Non-Volatile DIMM (NV-DIMM) DDR4 (288-pin) ECC 2666/2400/2133
MHz memory modules in 16 slots. The black DIMM slots are reserved for future NVDIMM
support. Populating the DDR4 memory module in 2DPC system configuration on this
motherboard will affect memory bandwidth performance. Populating these DIMM modules
with a pair of memory modules of the same type and size will result in interleaved memory,
which will improve memory performance.
Notes: 1. Be sure to use the memory modules of the same type and speed on the
motherboard. Mixing of memory modules of different types and speeds is not allowed.
2. When installing memory modules, be sure to populate the first DIMM module on
the blue memory slot, which is the first memory slot of a memory channel, and then
populate the second DIMM in the black slot if 2DPC memory configuration is used. 3.
Using unbalanced memory topology by populating two DIMMs in one channel while
populating one DIMM in another channel will result in reduced memory performance.
4. Memory speed is dependent on the type of processors used in your system. 5.
Using unbalanced memory topology such as populating two DIMMs in one channel
while populating one DIMM in another channel on the same motherboard will result in
reduced memory performance.
