-2600 v3 family or Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v3 family processor socket contains four memory channels that
pported for 1TB of memory (16 DIMM slots x 64GB per DIMM).
64GB DIMM support available in earl 2015.
:
• A minimum of one DIMM is required per processor.
• Install DIMMs only if the corresponding processor is installed.
• If only one processor is installed in a two processor system, only half of the DIMM slots are available.
• DIMM sizes can be mixed in channel. To maximize performance, it is recommended to balance the total memory capacity
between all installed processors and to load the channels similarly whenever possible.
• LRDIMM and RDIMMs are all distinct memory technologies and cannot be mixed within a server. The majority of ProLiant
Gen9 servers support RDIMM and LRDIMM.
• DIMMs of different speeds may be mixed in any order; the server will select a common optimal speed.
• The maximum memory speed is a function of the memory type, memory configuration, and processor model.
• The maximum memory capacity is a function of the memory type and number of installed processors.
• HPE memory from previous generation servers is not compatible with the WS460c Gen9 Server Blade.
• To realize the performance memory capabilities listed in this document, HPE SmartMemory is required. For additional
information, please see the HPE SmartMemory QuickSpecs at:
