Memory options
IBM DDR3 memory is compatibility tested and tuned for optimal System x performance and throughput. IBM memory specifications are integrated into the light path diagnostics for immediate system performance feedback and optimum system uptime. From a service and support standpoint, IBM memory automatically assumes the IBM system warranty, and IBM provides service and support worldwide.
The IBM System x3650 M4 supports DDR3 memory. The server supports up to 12 DIMMs when one processor is installed and up to 24 DIMMs when two processors are installed. Each processor has four memory channels, and there are three DIMMs per channel.
The following rules apply when selecting the memory configuration:
Server supports UDIMMs, RDIMMs, HyperCloud DIMMs (also known as HCDIMMs), and LRDIMMs.
Mixing different types of memory (UDIMMs, RDIMMs, HyperCloud DIMMs, and LRDIMMs) is not supported.
Mixing 1.5 V and 1.35 V DIMMs is supported; in such a case, all DIMMs operate at 1.5 V.
IBM System x3650 M4 18
Maximum number of ranks per one channel is eight (with the exception of Load Reduced DIMMs and HyperCloud DIMMs where more than eight ranks are supported, because one quad-rank LRDIMM or HCDIMM provides the reduced electrical load on a memory bus).
The maximum quantity of DIMMs that can be installed in the server depends on the number of CPUs, DIMM type, rank, and operating voltage, as shown in the "Max. qty supported" row in Table 5.
All DIMMs in the server operate at the same speed, which is determined as the lowest value of:
Memory speed that is supported by the specific CPU.
Lowest of maximum operating speeds for selected memory configuration that depends on rated speed, operating voltage, and quantity of DIMMs per channel, as shown under "Maximum operating speed" section in the table.
The following table (Parts 1, 2, 3, and 4) shows the characteristics of the supported DIMMs. Tables cells highlighted with a gray background indicate when the combination of DIMM voltage and the number of DIMMs per channel still allows the DIMMs to operate at a rated speed.
