System Memory

Your system supports DDR3 registered DIMMs (RDIMMs) or unbuffered ECC DIMMs (UDIMMs). Single and dual-rank DIMMs can be 1067- or 1333-MHz, and quad-rank DIMMs can be 800- or 1067-MHz.

Your system supports single-channel mode and dual-channel mode.

The system contains a total of six memory sockets. UDIMM supports single-rank and dual-rank DIMMs. Only RDIMM supports quad-rank DIMMs.

The maximum memory that is supported on your system varies according to the types and sizes of memory modules being used:

Single-rank and dual-rank RDIMMs of sizes 2-GB, 4-GB and 8-GB are supported for a total of up to 24 GB.

Quad-rank RDIMMs are supported for a total of up to 32 GB.

1-GB and 2-GB UDIMMs are supported for a total of up to 8 GB.

General Memory Module Installation Guidelines

To ensure optimal performance of your system, observe the following general guidelines when configuring your system memory.

NOTE: Memory configurations that fail to observe these guidelines can prevent your system from starting and producing any video output.

RDIMMs and UDIMMs cannot be mixed.

Except for memory channels that are unused, all populated memory channels must have identical configurations.
