Memory Mode

In this mode, DCPMMs act as volatile system memory, while DRAM DIMMs act as cache. Ensure that the ratio of DRAM DIMM capacity to DCPMM capacity is between 1:2 and 1:16.

Note

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