Huawei FusionServer Pro 2298 V5 - Memory Installation Guidelines; Memory Installation Positions

Parameter Specications
● a: The maximum number of DDR4 DIMMs is based on dual-processor
conguration. The value is halved for a server with only one processor.
● b: The maximum DDR4 memory capacity varies depending on the processor
type. The value listed in this table is based on the assumption that DIMMs
are fully congured.
● c: DPC (DIMM per channel) indicates the number of DIMMs per channel.
● d: If the Cascade Lake processor is used, the maximum operating speed of a
DIMM can reach 2933 MT/s. If the Skylake processor is used, the maximum
operating speed of a DIMM can reach 2666 MT/s only.
5.4.4 Memory Installation Guidelines
● Observe the following when conguring DDR4 DIMMs:
– Install DIMMs only when corresponding processors are installed.
– Do not install LRDIMMs and RDIMMs in the same server.
– Install ller DIMMs in vacant slots.
● Observe the following when
conguring DDR4 DIMMs in specic operating
mode:
– Memory sparing mode
▪
Comply with the general installation guidelines.
▪
Each memory channel must have a valid online spare
conguration.
▪
The channels can have dierent online spare congurations.
▪
Each populated channel must have a spare rank.
– Memory mirroring mode
▪
Comply with the general installation guidelines.
▪
Each processor supports two integrated memory controllers (IMCs).
At least two channels of each IMC are used for installing DIMMs
(channels 1 and 2, or channels 1, 2, and 3). The DIMMs installed
must be identical in size and organization.
▪ For a multi-processor
conguration, each processor must have a
valid memory mirroring
conguration.
– Memory scrubbing mode
▪ Comply with the general installation guidelines.
5.4.5 Memory Installation Positions
A 2298 V5 supports a maximum of 12 DDR4 DIMMs. To maximize the
performance, balance the total memory capacity between the installed processors
and load the channels similarly whenever possible.
