DIMM
Install a Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) to a DIMM slot on the motherboard in the server. The motherboard
provides 24 slots to install DIMMs.
Important
To avoid static electricity, see Chapter 1 (1.8Anti-static Measures) in Safety
Precautions and Regulatory Notices.
Use only the specified DIMMs. Installing a DIMM from a third party may
damage not only the DIMM but the motherboard. You will be charged to
repair failures or damages caused by the use of such products even within
the warranty period.
Tips
Up to 3072GB (128 GB x 24) can be installed in 2-CPU configuration. Up to 1536
GB (128 GB x 12) can be installed in 1-CPU configuration. No DIMM is factory
installed in standard configuration.
The memory subsystem in this server supports LRDIMM and RDIMM.
RDIMM offers address parity protection.
LRDIMM supports a higher density than a single rank or dual-rank. For this reason, you can provide higher
system capacity and bandwidth by installing larger capacity DIMM.
For the information corresponding to all the types, all the types are referred to as DIMM. If you specify LRDIMM
or RDIMM, the information is applicable only to the type. It is necessary that the type of all of the memory installed
on the server is the same.
Important This server does not support mix of LRDIMM and RDIMM. If you allow the mix
of any combination of these DIMM, there is a possibility that the server stops
during POST.
