Removing and replacing DIMMs
The server supports up to 24 memory DIMMs that attach to the system board through 4 memory
riser boards (6 DIMMs per board). The minimum amount of memory supported is 8 GB (two 4 GB
DIMMs). The maximum memory supported is 384 GB (twenty-four 16 GB DIMMs). The supported
DIMMs are industry-standard, 30 mm (1.18 inch) high, DDR3 PC3 DIMMs. The server does not
support hot-spare and hot-plug functionality.
The server supports the following DIMM sizes:
