Memory Installation
Memory Support
Each of the eight CPU Board boards can support up to 3TB of ECC/non-ECC DDR4-1866
(Lockstep Mode) or DDR4-1600 (Performance Mode) LRDIMM memory in 24 memory slots.
A fuly populated system will thus support 24TB of memory. Populating these DIMM slots with
memory modules of the same type and size will improve memory performance.
Check the Supermicro website for possible updates to memory support.
Installing Memory
Begin by removing power from the system as described in Section 3.1.
1.
Start populating the blue slots first (DIMMA1, DIMMB1, DIMMC1, DIMMD1, DIMME1,
DIMMF1, DIMMG1 and DIMMH1). Push the release tabs outwards on both ends of the
DIMM slot to unlock it.
2. Align the key of the DIMM with the receptive point on the memory slot and the notches
on both ends of the module with the receptive points on the slot.
3. With your thumbs on both ends of the module, press it straight down into the slot until
the module snaps into place.
4. Press the release tabs to the locked positions to secure the DIMM module into the slot.
Repeat for other DIMM slots as needed. See next page for population sequence.
5. To remove a DIMM, unlock the release tabs then pull the DIMM from the memory slot.
Caution:
Exercise extreme caution when installing or removing memory modules to prevent
any possible damage to the DIMMs or slots.
