3.1.2 Memory Sparing Configuration
Available slots: 6 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 becomes three-fourths of physical capacity.
3.1.3 Memory Mirroring / Memory Lockstep Configuration
Available slots: 4 per processor
NOTE:
Minimum one memory kit per processor must be installed.
The logical memory capacity becomes a half of physical capacity on memory mirroring configuration.
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.

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 255 GB of the main memory is available to each virtual machine
2
Up to 1 TB of the main memory is available to each virtual machine.

Refer to the section in accordance with your disk form factor and RAID configuration.
4.1.1 2.5-inch Drive Model Up to 24 x 2.5-inch Drives
Up to 26 x 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. Also, hard
drives in the back side (slot 24 to 25) must be in a separate RAID array than RAID arrays of hard
drives in the front side (slot 0 to 23) for configuration 4.2.4 to 4.2.6.
Dedicated Hot Spare / Global Hot Spare are supported by using RAID controller card (PCI Express).
However, Global Hot Spare is not supported on the configuration 4.2.4 to 4.2.6. Also, hard drives in
the back side cannot be used as Hot Spare drives of a RAID array of hard drives in the front side and
front side drives cannot be used as Hot Spare drives of a RAID array of hard drives in the back side.
Up to two kinds of drives can be mixed in a HDD cage.
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 in order to minimize the risk
of becoming multiple hard drives failure.
