*DIMM limit 1 – Max 64 GB LRDIMMs. No 128 GB, No AEP(Apache Pass).
**C indicates that the processor is continuously operating at the specied temperature or lower.
***E indicates the expanded operating temperature specied for the processor.
NOTE: Disabled ECM might reduce upper ambient temperature support on certain congurations.
