Guidelines
Only DDR5 DIMMs are supported.
If liquid cooled modules are installed, you must install two processors.
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 31 to verify that it is compatible with the processors.
