DCPMM Installation order: Mixed Memory mode with two processors

When implementing Mixed 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 Mixed Memory mode with six 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​
