System Disk Drive
– 500 GB (recommended) SATA SSD.
HP offers higher performing solid-state, NVMe, and SAS
boot drive options which are acceptable. Recommend a HP qualified drive be selected.
Standard AVID memory configuration:
•
Systems using the
new Xeon W series Skylake CPU’s will use DDR4
-2666MHz memory (up to 8 DIMMs per system)
•
Each CPU has 4 memory lanes - optimal bandwidth when all 4 memory lanes filled
o
32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4 2666MHz ECC memory
–
(Requires four 8GB DIMMs)
Memory modules must be installed according to
manufacturer’s
requirements
Optional AVID memory configuration:
•
64GB (8 x 8GB) DDR4 2666 ECC memory
–
(Requires eight 8GB DIMMs)
•
64GB (4 x 16GB) DDR4 2666 ECC memory
–
(Requires four 16GB DIMMs)
•
128GB (8 x 16GB) DDR4 2666 ECC memory
–
(Requires eight 16GB DIMMs)
Memory configuration constraints
-
No other memory configurations are formally supported in AVID environments.
-
Un-balanced memory configurations which mix and match memory module sizes and locations will
result in a poor performing, non-optimal operating environment.
-
NUMA should be disabled in BIOS
