Memory Population Guidelines; Guidelines Regarding Mixing Dimms - Supermicro SuperServer SYS-511R-ML User Manual

Memory Population Guidelines

•
All DIMMs must be DDR5.
•
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

•
Mixing memory modules of different types, speeds, ranks and vendors is very likely to
cause performance issues, and therefore not recommended.
•
Populating slots with a pair of DIMM modules of the same type and size results in inter-
leaved memory, which improves memory performance.
