    Memory Memory Support The X11SDD-8C-F motherboard supports up to 256GB Registered ECC RDIMM and up to 512GB LRDIMM in four slots. Check the Supermicro website for possible updates to memory support. DIMM Module Population Configuration For optimal memory performance, follow the table below when populating memory.

  • Page 31: Memory Population Guidelines

    • Balance memory. Using unbalanced memory topology, such as populating two DIMMs in one channel while populating one DIMM in another channel, reduces performance. It is not recommended for Supermicro systems. Guidelines Regarding Mixing DIMMs • Populating slots with a pair of DIMM modules of the same type and size results in inter- leaved memory, which improves memory performance.

  • Page 32: Memory Population Sequence

    SuperServer 5039MD(8/18)-H8TNR User's Manual Memory Population Sequence When installing memory modules, the DIMM slots should be populated in the following order: DIMMA1, DIMMB1, DIMMD1, DIMME1. Blue slots versus black slots: Install the first DIMM in the blue memory slot, which is the first of a memory channel.

  • Page 33: Installing Memory

    Chapter 3: Maintenance and Component Installation Installing Memory ESD Precautions Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents including memory modules. To avoid damaging DIMM modules, it is important to handle them carefully. The following measures are generally sufficient. • Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
