Minimum one memory kit per processor must be installed.
It is recommended to install memory kits in multiples of 6 identical DIMMs for 6-channel symmetric memory configurations to
increase memory transfer speed.
Mix configurations of RDIMM and LRDIMM are not supported. Do NOT mix LRDIMM 64GB with LRDIMM 128GB.
If you install more than six times N8102-713 128GB DDR4-2666 LR Memory Kit, you require one of the following CPU Processor
