IBM System x3550 M4 12
The IBM System x3550 M4 supports DDR3 memory. The server supports up to 12 DIMMs when one
processor is installed, and up to 24 DIMMs when two processors are installed. Each processor has four
memory channels, and there are three DIMMs per channel.
The following rules apply when selecting the memory configuration:
Mixing different types of memory (UDIMMs, RDIMMs, and LRDIMMs) is not supported.

Mixing 1.5 V and 1.35 V DIMMs in the same server is supported; in such cases, all DIMMs operate at

1.5 V.
The maximum number of ranks supported per one channel is eight (with the exception of Load

Reduced DIMMs, where more than eight ranks are supported because one quad-rank LRDIMM
provides the same electrical load on a memory bus as a single-rank RDIMM).
The maximum quantity of DIMMs that can be installed in server depends on number of CPUs, DIMM

type, rank, and operating voltage as shown in the "Maximum quantity" row in the following table.
All DIMMs in all CPU memory channels operate at the same speed, which is determined as the

lowest value of:
The memory speed supported by the specific CPU.

The lowest of maximum operating speeds for the selected memory configuration that depends on

rated speed, operating voltage, and quantity of DIMMs per channel, as shown under "Maximum
operating speed" section in the following table.
The following table (Parts 1 and 2) shows the characteristics of the supported DIMMs. Tables cells
highlighted with a gray background indicate when the combination of DIMM voltage and the number of
DIMMs per channel still allows the DIMMs to operate at a rated speed.
