Most memory manufacturers list TESTED compatible memory on their websites. Their test includes compatible 4 GB memory. So if it says it is compatible, then it is compatible.Īlso Kingston memory has also been tested for compatibility. Currently, processor memory speed limitation is a function of core count:Ĩ-core processors from Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 product family run at a maximum speed of 1600 MHz.Ħ-core processors from Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 product family run at a maximum speed of 1333 MHzĤ-core processors from Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 product family run at a maximum speed of 1067 MHz.Can YOU read! Did you even bother to look at the links!Ĭrucial compatible memory has been tested for compatibility. Rule 9: The maximum DIMM speed is limited by the processor part number, with the DIMM population, whichever is lower. Three DIMMs per channel (QR) is not supported, currently. One DIMM per channel or 2 DIMMs per channel (DR) = 1600 or 1333 MHz, at full speed as rated by the DIMM. Rule 8: For maximum performance, apply the following rules:ĭIMMs can run in one of the following three speeds: 1600 MHz, 1333 MHz, and 1067 MHz.ĭIMM speed rules are: (SR = single rank DR = dual rank QR = quad rank) Rule 7: Each processor can support a maximum of 12 dual-rank (DR) DIMMs. Mixing of different DIMM technology is not supported. Rule 6: The blade must have all RDIMMs installed. Note - When mixing sizes across different 4 DIMM sets, populate the highest density (largest) DIMMs on the blue socket set, the next size in the white socket set and the smallest DIMMs in the black socket set. Install up to 24 DIMMs per server module or up to 12 DIMMs per processor.įor optimal performance, install DIMMs in groups of three sockets per channel.Īlways install DIMMs in ascending order, within a color or group following the “farthest from processor first” convention. Install up to four memory channels, with three DIMMs per channel. Use 8 GB DDR3–1600 LV DIMMs and 16 GB DDR3–1600 LV DIMMs only:

The maximum supported memory configuration is 384 GB. The minimum supported memory configuration is one DIMM per processor D0. Minimum per processor: 1, Maximum per processor: 12. The server module supports one DIMM per channel, two DIMMs per channel, and three DIMMs per channel across all sockets. When populating DIMM slots, follow these population rules and guidelines.Įach processor has four DDR3 memory channels (or buses).Įach DDR3 memory channel supports up to three DIMMs for a total of 12 DIMMs per processor. Use these DIMM guidelines and illustrations to help you plan the memory configuration
