3.1.1 Independent Channel Configuration
Available slots: 12 per processor
NOTE:
Minimum one memory kit per processor must be installed.
The configured memories must be identical.
It is recommended to install memory kits in multiples of two (four identical DIMMs) for quad-channel
symmetric memory configurations to increase memory transfer speed.
When two processors are installed, balance the DIMMs across the two processors.
Mix configurations of UDIMM/RDIMM/LRDIMM are not supported

Available slots: 12 per processor
NOTE:
Minimum one memory kit per processor must be installed.
The configured memories must be identical.
When two processors are installed, balance the DIMMs across the two processors.
The logical memory capacity at the time of memory sparing becomes two-thirds of physical capacity
with configurations less than 4GB DIMM and five-sixth physical capacity with configurations more
than 8GB DIMM.
The maximum memory transfer rate is 1066 MHz.
3.1.3 Memory Mirroring / Memory Lockstep Configuration

Memory Configuration Feature Comparison
See the table below for feature comparisons of memory configurations supported.
Maximum Memory Speed
See the table below for the actual maximum memory transfer speed in Independent Channel / Memory
Sparing Configuration.
DDR3 memory speed depends on the type of DIMMs, the native memory bus speed of the memory
controller and memory configuration. All memory buses operate at the clock frequency of the DIMM with
the lowest frequency.
The maximum memory transfer rate is 1066 MHz with Memory Sparing Configuration.

Maximum Available Memory
See the table below for the maximum memory size that you can actually use on your system.
The maximum available memory is less than the maximum physical memory supported by your system
because some chipsets require PCI resource space of about 750MB. PCI resource requirements vary
depending on the type and the number of PCI cards you are using.
1
Up to 1 TB of main memory is available to each virtual machine.

4.1 RAID Configuration
Refer to the section in accordance with your disk form factor and RAID configuration.
Up to six 2.5-inch Drives
Up to eight 2.5-inch Drives
NOTE:
Up to four hard drives can be installed in the Embedded SATA configuration.
Hot plug insertion/removal are not supported in the Embedded SATA configuration.
An optional RAID controller occupies one PCI slot.
All hard drives within a RAID array should be of the same capacity and rotation speed.
Use the same rotational speed of the SAS Hard drives.
To configure a large-capacity RAID array, it is recommended to configure in RAID 6 or RAID 60 in
order to minimize the risk of becoming multiple hard drives failure during the RAID rebuilding process.
Up to two kinds of drives can be mixed in one system
For mix configuration, the same kind of hard drives are mounted starting with Slot 0 sequentially, and
the remaining slots can mount different kind of hard drives.
For SAS and SATA hard drive mix configuration, they must be installed in separate drive groups with
multiple of two drives.

4.2.7 Up to eight 2.5-inch Drives with RAID 5/6 Controller with 1 GB Cache
NOTE:
All hard drives within a RAID array should be of the same capacity and rotation speed.
Up to two kinds of drives can be mixed in one system
For mix configuration, the same kind of hard drives are mounted starting with Slot 0 sequentially, and
the remaining slots can mount different kind of hard drives.
For SAS and SATA hard drive mix configuration, they must be installed in separate drive groups with
multiple of two drives.
A large-capacity RAID array configuration requires long-time rebuilding when to recover from the
NEC Corporation Revision 1.0, March 2012
failure. In order to improve the reliability, RAID 6 or RAID 60 cofiguration, which supports two hard
drives failures, is recommended as the redundancy becomes invalid during the system recovery.

Teaming feature - Teaming and bonding features
See the table below for supported network interfaces and OS combinations.
Windows supports BASP (Broadcom Advanced Server Program) teaming while Linux supports teaming
with bonding function supported by OS.
NOTE:
Teaming feature is not supported on iSCSI interfaces.
The network interfaces for teaming must be the same.
10GbE LAN teaming must be processed in a single LAN controller.
When 10GbE and 1GbE LAN teamings are mixed, the teams must be up to four per one system.

6.2.1 RAID Controller
NOTE:
To configure a large-capacity RAID array, it is recommended to configure in RAID 6 or RAID 60 in
order to minimize the risk of becoming multiple hard drives failure during the RAID rebuilding process.
It is recommended to set RAID array configuration drives less than eight to minimize the risk of
becoming multiple hard drives failure.
