Memory Support Guidelines

Memory Support for X10 UP Motherboards

This document provides the user with an easy-to-use guide for proper memory conguration
and installation of X10 UP (Socket R3) motherboards utilizing RDIMM and LRDIMM DDR4
memory modules. To ensure proper memory installation, please follow the information and
instructions listed below.

1 ESD Precautions

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents, including memory
modules. To avoid damaging DIMMs, it is important to handle them very carefully. The
following measures are generally sufcient to protect your equipment from ESD.

Precautions

• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

• Handle the memory module by its edges only.

• Put the memory modules into antistatic bags when not in use.

• Check the Supermicro website for recommended memory modules.

Note: All graphics shown in this manual are for reference only. Your system compo­nents may not look the same as the graphics shown in this guide.

2 Memory Support

The X10 UP (Socket R3) motherboards support Load Reduced DIMM (LRDIMM) and
Registered DIMM (RDIMM) DDR4 (288-pin) ECC memory with speeds of up to 2400MHz in
eight memory slots. Refer to the following tables for detailed information on memory support.

3 Memory Population Order

Memory slots for the X10 UP motherboards are populated using the "Fill First" method. The
blue memory slot of each channel is considered the "rst DIMM" of the channel, while the
black slot is the second. When installing memory modules, be sure to populate the blue
memory slots rst before populating the black slots. To maximize memory capacity and
performance, please populate all DIMM slots on the motherboard. Refer to the table below
for the recommended DIMM population order.

Note 1. The following memory population table applies to X10SRW-F, X10SRi-F,
X10SRL-F, X10SRG-F, and X10SRH-CF/-CLN4F.

Note 2. X10SRM-F/-TF has 4-DIMM slots with 1DPC and will follow the same popula­tion order.

4 General Guidelines for Optimizing Memory Performance

1. All DIMMs must be DDR4 and Registered DIMMs must be ECC only.

2. Unbuffered DIMMs (UDIMM) are not supported.

3. A maximum of eight logical ranks per channel is allowed.

4. When single, dual, or quad rank DIMMs are populated for 2DPC, always populate the
higher number rank DIMM rst (starting from the farthest slot).

5. Be sure to use memory modules of the same type and speed. Mixing memory modules
of different types and speeds is not allowed.

6. Populating memory slots with a pair of DIMMs of the same type and size will result in
interleaved memory, which will improve memory performance.

7. Motherboards will support odd-numbered modules. However, to achieve the best
memory performance, a balanced memory population is recommended.

8. When one DIMM is used, it must be populated in the blue DIMM slot (furthest away
from the CPU) of a given channel.

9. Mixing of Physical Rank DIMMs within a channel is allowed.

10. Mixing of different DDR4 operating frequencies is not recommended. If DIMMs are
mixed, all DIMMs will run at the lowest common frequency.

General Population Requirements

DIMM Mixing Rules

• Please populate all memory modules with DDR4 DIMMs only.

• Mixing of LRDIMMs and RDIMMs is not allowed.

• Mixing of non-3DS and 3DS LRDIMM is not allowed.

5 DIMM Installation

1. Follow the instructions given in the
memory population order guidelines listed
in the previous sections to install memory
modules on your motherboard.

2. Push the release tabs outwards on both
ends of the DIMM slot to unlock it.

3. Align the key of the DIMM module with the
receptive point on the memory slot.

4. Align the notches on both ends of the
module against the receptive points on the
ends of the slot.

5. Press the notches on both ends of the
module straight down into the slot until the
module snaps into place.
