General memory module installation guidelines
To ensure optimal performance of your system, observe the following general guidelines when configuring your system memory: If your
system's memory configurations fail to observe these guidelines, your system might not boot, stop responding during memory
configuration, or operate with reduced memory.
The memory bus operating frequency can be 2933 MT/s or 2666 MT/s, 2400 MT/s and 2100 MT/s depending on the following factors:
•
Maximum supported DIMM speed of the processors
•
Maximum supported speed of the DIMMs
NOTE:
MT/s indicates DIMM speed in MegaTransfers per second.
The following are the recommended guidelines for installing memory modules:
•
All DIMMs must be DDR4.
•
RDIMMs and LRDIMMs must not be mixed.
•
NVDIMMs and LRDIMMs must not be mixed.
•
NVDIMMs and RDIMMs can be mixed.
•
x4 and x8 DRAM based memory modules can be mixed.
•
Up to two RDIMMs can be populated per channel regardless of rank count.
•
A maximum of two different ranked DIMMs can be populated in a channel regardless of rank count.
•
Populate memory module sockets only if a processor is installed.
