App Direct Mode

In this mode, DCPMMs act as independent and persistent memory resources directly accessible by specific applications, and DRAM DIMMs act as system memory.

Note

Before installing DCPMM, refer to Memory configuration and Configuring DC Persistent Memory Module (DCPMM) for the requirements.

App Direct Mode with one processor

Note

When adding one or more DCPMMs and DIMMs during a memory upgrade, you might need to move other DIMMs that are already installed to new locations.

D: All supported DDR4 DIMM except 8GB 1Rx8 RDIMM P: Only Data Center Persistent Memory Module (DCPMM) can be installed on the corresponding DIMM slots.
