Memory
The PowerEdge R640 supports up to 1536 GB (RDIMM) or 768 GB (LRDIMMs) of memory (24 DIMMs), and at speeds up to 2666 MT/s,
providing high performance in various applications. High memory density ensures that there is no compromise in virtualization.
The PowerEdge R640 supports both registered DIMMs (RDIMM) and load-reduced DIMMs (LRDIMMs), which use a buer to reduce
memory loading and provide greater density, allowing for the maximum platform memory capacity.
NOTE: Mixing of DIMM types is not supported ‐ either the platform is populated with all RDIMMs, or all LRDIMMs. Maximum
two types of DIMMs allowed per system and only NVDIMM-Ns and RDIMMs are supported. NVDIMM-Ns are only supported on
CPU 1 and CPU 2, that is, six per CPU with a total of 12. RDIMM with LRDIMM and LRDIMM with NVDIMM-N cannot be mixed.
The system supports:
• Up to six channels with two DPC and total 24 DIMMs
• DDR4 RDIMM/LRDIMM/NVDIMM-N
• Only registered ECC DDR4 DIMMs
• DDR4 speeds up to 2666 MT/s
