Observe the following rules when configuring DDR4 DIMMs:

2023-02-28 21
FusionServer XH321 V5 Server Node
Technical White Paper 5 Hardware Description

⚫ A server must use the same model of DDR4 DIMMs, and all the DIMMs operate at
the same speed, which is the smallest value of:
⚫ Memory speed supported by a processor
⚫ Maximum operating speed of a DIMM
⚫ The DDR4 DIMMs of different types (RDIMM and LRDIMM) and specifications
(capacity, bit width, rank, and height) cannot be used together.
⚫ Contact your local sales representative or use the Compatibility Checker to
determine the components to be used.
⚫ The memory can be used with Intel® Xeon® Scalable Skylake and Cascade Lake
processors. The maximum memory capacity supported varies depending on the
processor model.
− Skylake processors
◼ M processors: 1.5 TB/socket
◼ Other processors: 768 GB/socket
− Cascade Lake processors
◼ L processors: 4.5 TB/socket
◼ M processors: 2 TB/socket
◼ Other processors: 1 TB/socket
⚫ The total memory capacity is the sum of the capacity of all DDR4 DIMMs.

The total memory capacity cannot exceed the maximum memory capacity supported
by the CPUs.
⚫ Use the Compatibility Checker to determine the capacity type of a single memory
module.
⚫ The maximum number of DIMMs supported by a server varies depending on the
CPU type, memory type, rank quantity, and operating voltage.

Each memory channel supports a maximum of 8 ranks. The number of DIMMs supported by
each channel varies depending on the number of ranks supported by each channel:
Number of DIMMs supported by each channel ≤ Number of ranks supported by each memory
channel/Number of ranks supported by each DIMM
⚫ A memory channel supports more than eight ranks for LRDIMMs.

A quad-rank LRDIMM generates the same electrical load as a single-rank RDIMM on a memory
bus.

B.1 A-E
E
ejector lever A part on the panel of a device used to facilitate
installation or removal of the device.
Ethernet A baseband local area network (LAN) architecture
developed by Xerox Corporation by partnering with Intel
and DEC. Ethernet uses the Carrier Sense Multiple
Access/Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) access method
and allows data transfer over various cables at 10 Mbit/s.
The Ethernet specification is the basis for the IEEE 802.3
standard.

B.2 F-J
G
Gigabit Ethernet (GE) An extension and enhancement of traditional shared
media Ethernet standards. It is compatible with 10M and
100M Ethernet and complies with IEEE 802.3z standards.

H
hot swap Replacing or adding components without stopping or
shutting down the system.

KVM A hardware device that provides public keyboard, video
and mouse (KVM).

B.4 P-T
P
panel An external component (including but not limited to
ejector levers, indicators, and ports) on the front or rear of
the server. It seals the front and rear of the chassis to
ensure optimal ventilation and electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC).
Peripheral A computer bus PCI, which uses the existing PCI
Component programming concepts and communication standards,
Interconnect Express but builds a faster serial communication system. Intel is
(PCIe) the main sponsor for PCIe. PCIe is used only for internal
interconnection. A PCI system can be transformed to a
PCIe one by modifying the physical layer instead of
software. PCIe delivers a faster speed and can replace
almost all AGP and PCI buses.

R
redundancy A mechanism that allows a backup device to
automatically take over services from a faulty device to
ensure uninterrupted running of the system.
redundant array of A storage technology that combines multiple physical
independent disks drives into a logical unit for the purposes of data
(RAID) redundancy and performance improvement.

S
server A special computer that provides services for clients over
a network.
system event log Event records stored in the system used for subsequent
(SEL) fault diagnosis and system recovery.
