FusionServer Pro CH121 V5 Compute Node User Guide

l A server must use the same model of DDR4 memory modules, and all the memory

modules operate at the same speed, which is the smallest value of:

l Memory speed supported by a processor l Maximum operating speed of a memory module

l The DDR4 memory modules of different types (RDIMM and LRDIMM) cannot be used

together.

l Contact your local Huawei sales representative or use the Intelligent Computing

Compatibility Checker to determine the components to be used.

l 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

n M processors: 1.5 TB/socket n Other processors: 768 GB/socket

2 Hardware Description

– Cascade Lake processors

n L processors: 4.5 TB/socket n M processors: 2 TB/socket n Other processors: 1 TB/socket

l The total memory capacity is the sum of the capacity of all DDR4 memory modules.

The total memory capacity cannot exceed the maximum memory capacity supported by the CPUs.

l Use the Intelligent Computing Compatibility Checker to determine the capacity type

of a single memory module.

l The maximum number of memory modules supported by a server varies depending on

the CPU type, memory type, rank quantity, and operating voltage.

NOTE

Each memory channel supports a maximum of 8 ranks. The number of memory modules supported by each channel varies depending on the number of ranks supported by each channel:

Number of memory modules supported by each channel ≤ Number of ranks supported by each memory channel/Number of ranks supported by each memory module

l A memory channel supports more than eight ranks for LRDIMMs.

NOTE

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

l DDR4 memory modules of different specifications (capacity, bit width, rank, and height)

can be used together for capacity expansion purposes. However, the memory Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) features may be affected.

Page 22

FusionServer Pro CH121 V5 Compute Node User Guide

Observe the following rules when you need to use different types of memory modules in a compute node:

– RDIMMs and LRDIMMs cannot be used together. – Do not use 128 GB memory modules together with memory modules of other

capacities.

– If memory modules with different rank quantities need to be installed in the same

channel, install the memory modules with more ranks in slots farther away from the CPU.

For example, install the dual-rank memory module in slot 1A1 and the single-rank memory module in slot 1A2.

– Memory modules of different speeds can be mixed in any way. However, the

memory speed is the lowest speed of the memory modules configured.

– RAS features, such as memory mirroring, single device data correction (SDDC),

SDDC+1, and double device data correction (DDDC), are not supported if x4 and x8 memory modules are used together.

Parameter Specifications

l a: If the Cascade Lake processor is used, the rated speed and maximum operating speed

of the RDIMM can reach 2933 MT/s. If the Skylake processor is used, the rated speed and maximum operating speed of a DDR4 memory module can reach 2666 MT/s only.

l b: The maximum number of DDR4 memory modules is based on dual-processor

configuration. The value is halved for a server with only one processor.

l c: The maximum DDR4 memory capacity varies depending on the processor type. The

value listed in this table is based on the assumption that twenty-four 128 GB DDR4 memory modules are configured.

2.3.4 Memory Installation Guidelines

l Observe the following when configuring DDR4 memory modules:

– Install memory modules only when corresponding processors are installed. – Do not install LRDIMMs and RDIMMs in the same server. – Install filler memory modules in vacant slots.

l Observe the following when configuring DDR4 memory modules in specific operating

mode: – Memory sparing mode

n Comply with the general installation guidelines. n Each memory channel must have a valid online spare configuration. n The channels can have different online spare configurations. n Each populated channel must have a spare rank.

3.1 Power-Off Procedure

NOTE

l Powering off a compute node will interrupt all services and programs running on it. Therefore,

before powering off a compute node, ensure that all services and programs have been stopped or migrated to other compute nodes.

l The "power-off" mentioned here is an operation performed to change the compute node to the

standby state (the power indicator is steady yellow).

l After a compute node is powered off forcibly, wait for more than 10 seconds for the compute node to

power off completely. Do not power on the compute node again before it is completely powered off.

l Forced power-off may damage user programs or unsaved data. Exercise caution when performing

this operation.

The compute node can be powered off in any of the following ways:

l Power off the chassis.

The compute node will be powered off along with the chassis.

l Press the power button on the compute node front panel to power off the compute node

gracefully. For details, see 2.1.2 Indicators and Buttons.

l Hold down the power button on the compute node front panel for six seconds to power

off the compute node forcibly. For details, see 2.1.2 Indicators and Buttons.

l Use the MM910 WebUI.
