The number of DIMMs per channel (1DPC or 2DPC) can affect the operating DIMM frequency. For

Installation guidelines
When you install only DDR5 DIMMs, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
•
Make sure their corresponding processors are present before powering on the server.
•
As a best practice, install DDR5 DIMMs that have the same product code and DIMM
specification (type, capacity, rank, and frequency). For information about DIMM product codes,
use the component compatibility lookup tool at
http://www.h3c.com/en/home/qr/default.htm?id=66
. To install components or replace faulty
DIMMs of other specifications, contact Technical Support..
•
For the configured memory mode to take effect, make sure the following installation
requirements are met:
Memory mode DIMM population requirements
Independent
•
If one processor is present, see
•
If two processors are present, see
Mirror
•
If one processor is present, this mode is supported only when 8 DIMMs or
16 DIMMs are installed. For more information, see
•
If two processors are present, this mode is supported only when 16 DIMMs
or 32 DIMMs are installed. For more information, see
NOTE:
•
If the DIMM configuration does not meet the requirements for the configured memory
mode, the system uses the default memory mode (Independent mode).
•
, the black DIMM slots (for example, the F1 slot) are
grey colored, and the white DIMM slots (for example, the F0 slot) are not colored.
