Super Intel® Optane™Persistent Memory 200 Series Configuration User's Guide

• 

Mode definitions: AD = App Direct Mode, MM = Memory Mode.

• 

No mixing of PMem and NVDIMMs within the platform.

• 

For MM, NM/FM ratio is between 1:4 and 1:8.  (NM = Near Memory (DRAM); FM = Far Memory (PMem)).

• 

Matrix targets configs for optimized PMem to DRAM cache ratio in MM mode.

• 

For  each  individual  population,  different  PMem  rearrangements  among  channels  are  permitted  so  long  as  the 
configuration doesn’t break X12SPx Memory population rules.

• 

Ensure the same DDR4 DIMM type and capacity are used for each DDR4 + PMem population.

• 

If the system detects an unvalidated configuration, then the system issues a BIOS warning. The CLI functionality is 
limited in non-POR configurations, and select commands will not be supported.
