1 x 16GB Registered ECC DIMM, DDR4-2400(PC4-2400)
32GB DDR4-2400 REG Memory Kit (1x32GB)
1 x 32GB Registered ECC DIMM, DDR4-2400(PC4-2400)
TSV Registered DIMM
(TSV RDIMM)
64GB DDR4-2400 REG Memory Kit (1x64GB)
1 x64GB TSV Registered ECC DIMM, DDR4-2400(PC4-2400)
NOTE:
Minimum one memory kit per processor must be installed.
It is recommended to install memory kits in multiples of four (four identical DIMMs) for quad-channel symmetric memory
configurations to increase memory transfer speed.
When two processors are installed, balance the DIMMs across the two processors.
Mix configurations of RDIMM and TSV RDIMM are not supported.
At least 5 GB of memory is required for VMware ESXi
