The following are the recommended guidelines for installing memory modules:● All DIMMs must be DDR4.● x4 and x8 DRAM based memory modules can be mixed.● If memory modules with different speeds are installed, they operate at the speed of the slowest installed memory module(s).● Populate memory module sockets only if a processor is installed.○ For single-processor systems, sockets A1 to A16 are available.○ For dual-processor systems, sockets A1 to A16 and sockets B1 to B16 are available.● In Optimizer Mode, the DRAM controllers operate independently in the 64-bit mode and provide optimized memoryperformance.Table 20.
