System memory
This section provides information on memory population rules, general requirements and instructions on removing and installing memory
modules.
General memory module installation guidelines
To ensure optimal performance of your system, observe the following general guidelines when configuring your system memory. If your
system's memory configurations fail to observe these guidelines, your system might not boot, stop responding during memory
configuration, or operate with reduced memory.
The system supports Flexible Memory Configuration, enabling the system to be configured and run in any valid chipset architectural
configuration. The following are the recommended guidelines for installing memory modules:
•
All DIMMs must be DDR4.
•
RDIMMs and LRDIMMs must not be mixed.
•
x4 and x8 DRAM based memory modules can be mixed.
•
Both dual rank and single rank RDIMMs can be populated in each channel.
•
Up to two LRDIMMs can be populated per channel regardless of rank count.
•
A maximum of two different ranked DIMMs can be populated in a channel regardless of rank count.
•
If memory modules with different speeds are installed, they will operate at the speed of the slowest installed memory module(s).
•
Populate memory module sockets only if a processor is installed.
– For single-processor systems, sockets A1 to A8 are available.
– For dual-processor systems, sockets A1 to A8 and sockets B1 to B8 are available.
•
Populate all the sockets with white release tabs first, followed by the black release tabs.
•
When mixing memory modules with different capacities, populate the sockets with memory modules with the highest capacity first.
For example, if you want to mix 4 GB and 8 GB memory modules, populate 8 GB memory modules in the sockets with white release
tabs and 4 GB memory modules in the sockets with black release tabs.
