IBM System x3750 M4
11
The following rules apply when selecting the memory configuration:
The server supports RDIMMs and LRDIMMs. UDIMMs are not supported.
Mixing different types of memory (RDIMMs and LRDIMMs) is not supported.
Mixing 1.5 V and 1.35 V DIMMs in the same server is supported; in such a case, all DIMMs operate at
1.5 V.
The maximum number of ranks per one channel is eight (with the exception of Load Reduced DIMMs,
where more than eight ranks are supported, because one quad-rank LRDIMM provides the same
electrical load on a memory bus as a single-rank RDIMM).
The maximum quantity of DIMMs that can be installed in the server depends on the number of
processors installed. The table shows the maximum when all four processors are installed. When two
processors are installed, the maximum quantity supported is a half of the quantity that is shown.
All DIMMs in the server operate at the same speed, which is determined as the lowest value of:
Memory speed that is supported by the specific processor.
Lowest of maximum operating speeds for selected memory configuration that depends on rated
speed, operating voltage, and quantity of DIMMs per channel, as shown under "Max. operating
speed" section in the table.
Table highlighting
:
The entries highlighted in
red text
indicate that the IBM System x3750 M4 supports higher memory
frequencies than the Intel processor specification. In some instances, this configuration also results
larger memory capacity that the specification recommends.
Tables cells highlighted with a grey background indicate when the specific combination of DIMM
voltage and number of DIMMs per channel still allows the DIMMs to operate at rated speed

maximum quantity supported is a half of the quantity that is shown. When one processor is installed, the quantity is
one quarter of that shown.
