Each memory channel supports more than eight ranks for load-reduced DIMMs
(LRDIMMs).
A quad-rank LRDIMM generates the same electrical load as a single-rank RDIMM on a memory
bus.

a: The maximum number of DDR4 DIMMs is based on dual-processor
configuration. The value is halved for a server with only one processor.
⚫
b: DIMM per channel (DPC) indicates the number of memory modules per
channel.

5.4.1.4 DIMM Installation Rules
Observe the following rules when configuring DDR4 DIMMs:
⚫
Install memory modules only when corresponding processors are installed.
⚫
Do not mix LRDIMMs and RDIMMs in the same server.
⚫
Install filler memory modules in vacant slots.
Observe the following rules when configuring DDR4 DIMMs in specific operating
mode:
⚫
Rank sparing mode
−
Comply with the general installation guidelines.
−
At least two ranks must be configured for each channel.
−
A maximum of two standby ranks can be configured for each channel.
