● A server must use the same model of DDR4 memory modules, and all the
memory modules operate at the same speed, which is the smallest value of:
● Memory speed supported by a processor
● Maximum operating speed of a memory module
● The DDR4 memory modules of
dierent types (RDIMM and LRDIMM) and
specications (capacity, bit width, rank, and height) cannot be used together.
● Contact your local Huawei sales representative or use the Intelligent
Computing Compatibility Checker to determine the components to be used.
● The memory can be used with Intel
®
Xeon
®
Scalable Skylake and Cascade
Lake processors. The maximum memory capacity supported varies depending
on the processor model.
– Skylake processors
▪ M processors: 1.5 TB/socket
▪
Other processors: 768 GB/socket
– Cascade Lake processors
▪
L processors: 4.5 TB/socket
▪
M processors: 2 TB/socket
▪
Other processors: 1 TB/socket
● The total memory capacity is the sum of the capacity of all DDR4 memory
modules.
The total memory capacity cannot exceed the maximum memory capacity
supported by the CPUs.
● Use the Intelligent Computing Compatibility Checker to determine the
capacity type of a single memory module.
● The maximum number of memory modules supported by a server varies
depending on the CPU type, memory type, rank quantity, and operating
voltage.
Each memory channel supports a maximum of 8 ranks. The number of memory
modules supported by each channel varies depending on the number of ranks
supported by each channel:
Number of memory modules supported by each channel ≤ Number of ranks supported
by each memory channel/Number of ranks supported by each memory module
● A memory channel supports more than eight ranks for LRDIMMs.
