The maximum quantity of DIMMs that can be installed in the server depends on the number of CPUs,
DIMM type, rank, and operating voltage, as shown in the "Max. qty supported" row in Table 5.
All DIMMs in the server operate at the same speed, which is determined as the lowest value of:
Memory speed that is supported by the specific CPU.
Lowest of maximum operating speeds for selected memory configuration that depends on rated
speed, operating voltage, and quantity of DIMMs per channel, as shown under "Max. operating
speed" section in Table 5.

* Maximum quantity supported is shown for two processors installed. When one processor is installed, the
maximum quantity supported is a half of the quantity that is shown. Shaded cells indicate when all DIMM sockets
can be occupied.
** NS = Not Supported
The following memory protection technologies are supported:
ECC
Chipkill (for x4-based memory DIMMs)
Memory mirroring
Memory rank sparing
If memory mirroring is used, DIMMs must be installed in pairs (minimum of one pair per each CPU), and
both DIMMs in a pair must be identical in type and size.
If memory rank sparing is used, then a minimum of one quad-rank DIMM or two single-rank or dual-rank
DIMMs must be installed per populated channel (the DIMMs do not need being identical). In rank sparing
