Guidelines
The server provides eight DIMM channels per processor and each channel has two DIMM slots. If
the server has one processor, the total number of DIMM slots is 16. If the server has two processors,
the total number of DIMM slots is 32.
When you install a DIMM, use Table 18 to verify that it is compatible with the processors.

DIMM and processor compatibility
To obtain the memory frequency and maximum memory frequency supported by a specific
processor, use the component compatibility lookup tool at
http://www.h3c.com/en/home/qr/default.htm?id=66
. You can query the memory frequency by
selecting Memory Module and query the maximum supported memory frequency by selecting
Processor.
The operating memory frequency is equal to the lesser of the memory frequency or the maximum
memory frequency supported by the processors. For example, if the memory frequency is 4400
MHz and the maximum memory frequency supported by processors is 4800 MHz, the actual
operating memory frequency is 4400 MHz.
