DCPMM Installation order: Memory mode with two processors

When implementing Memory mode, any supported DIMMs in any capacity can be installed.

When two processors are installed in the server:
  • Processors 1 and 2 are installed in the lower system board of the lower compute tray.

Several configurations are supported with implementing Memory mode with two processors:
  • 6 DCPMMs/6 DRAM DIMMs per processor

  • 4 DCPMMs/6 DRAM DIMMs per processor

  • 2 DCPMMs/6 DRAM DIMMs per processor

  • 2 DCPMMs/4 DRAM DIMMs per processor

6 DCPMMs/ 6 DRAM DIMMs per processor
