Memory Support

The H8DCT-HLN4F/HIBQF serverboard supports single/dual-channel, DDR3-1600/1333/1066 MHz registered ECC/Unbuffered ECC/non-ECC SDRAM memory modules.

Populating two adjacent slots at a time with memory modules of the same size and type will result in interleaved (128-bit) memory, which is faster than non-interleaved (64-bit) memory.

Maximum Memory

The H8DCT-HLN4F/HIBQF serverboard supports a maximum of up to 192 GB of ECC RDIMM SDRAM memory in twelve (12) DIMM slots.
