Memory Support
The motherboard supports up to 64 GB of unbuffered, non-ECC DDR4-2400 memory in four
DIMM slots. Two DIMMs should be installed at a time. Check the Supermicro website for a
list of validated memory.
Caution:
Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules to prevent
damage.
DIMM Installation
1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with DIMMB2 (see
below for location). For the system to work properly, please use memory modules of the
same type and speed.
2. Push the release tab on the DIMM slot outwards.
3. Align the DIMM key with the receptive point on the DIMM slot and align the notch on the
end of the module with the receptive point on the end of the slot.
4. Press both ends of the module straight down into the slot until the DIMM snaps into
place.
5. Push the release tab to the locked position to secure the DIMM in the slot.
