Recommended DIMM Configuration
This section explains the recommended DIMM population order rules for best performance.
■ All DIMMs must be DDR4 DIMMs.
■ Do not mix:
— DIMMs with different clock rates in a channel
— RDIMMs and LRDIMMs or TSV-RDIMMs with any other DIMMs
■ There are blue and black DIMM slots. Populate blue slots first.
■ When DIMMs ranks are mixed in the same channel, always populate the highest rank DIMM in
the blue DIMM slot and lower rank DIMM(s) in the black DIMM slots.
■ Table 8 shows the recommended configurations for 2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable
Processors and Table 9 shows the recommended configurations for Intel Xeon Scalable
Processors. The rows highlighted in yellow in
