Memory Population Guidelines
• All DIMMs must be DDR4.
• Balance memory. Using unbalanced memory topology, such as populating two DIMMs in
one channel while populating one DIMM in another channel, reduces performance. It is
not recommended for Supermicro systems.
•
installed CPUs.
Guidelines Regarding Mixing DIMMs
• Populating slots with a pair of DIMM modules of the same type and size results in inter-
leaved memory, which improves memory performance.
• Use memory modules of the same type and speed, as mixing is not allowed.
• x4 and x8 DIMMs can be mixed in the same channel.
