• The memory channels run at the fastest common frequency of the installed DIMMs.
• RDIMMs are supported in models with an Xeon 3400 series processor.
• Do not use both RDIMMs and UDIMMs in the same server.
• The server supports up to three single-rank, dual-rank, or quad-rank RDIMMs per channel.
• The RDIMM options that are available for the server are 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB, and 8 GB (when available)
DIMMs.
• You can install a maximum of 32 GB of memory in the server when you use RDIMMs.
• The following table lists the supported RDIMM population.
