DC Persistent Memory Module (DCPMM) installation order

For more information about the processors compatibility, see Lenovo ServerProven website.

• Before installing DCPMMs and DRAM DIMMs, refer to DC Persistent Memory Module (DCPMM) setup and make sure to meet all the requirements.

• To verify if the presently installed processors support DCPMMs, examine the four digits in the processor description. Only the processors with description meeting both of the following requirements support DCPMMs.

  • The first digit is 5 or a larger number.

  • The second digit is 2.

  Example: Intel Xeon 5215L and Intel Xeon Platinum 8260M

  If the presently installed processors do not support DCPMMs, replace them with the processors that support DCPMMs.

• Supported memory capacity range varies with the following types of DCPMMs.

  • Large memory tier (L): The processors with L after the four digits (for example: Intel Xeon 5215L)

    support up to 4.5 TB of memory capacity per processor

  • Medium memory tier (M): The processors with M after the four digits (for example: Intel Xeon Platinum 8260M)

    support up to 2 TB of memory capacity per processor

  • Other: Other processors that support DCPMMs (for example: Intel Xeon Gold 5222)

    support up to 1 TB of memory capacity per processor

To install DC Persistent Memory Module (DCPMM), refer to the following combinations:DC Persistent Memory Module — Memory Mode
