Green (steady on): Indicates that the input and output are
normal.
Orange (steady on): Indicates that the AC power cord is
unplugged or the power module is missing, and only one
parallel-connected power module has AC input; the power
module failure causes the output to be turned off, such as
OVP, OCP, fan failure, etc.
Green (1Hz/blinking): Indicates that the input is normal, the
voltage is too low (less than 12V) or the power supply is in
the intelligent standby mode.
Green (2Hz/blinking): Indicates the firmware is undergoing
online upgrade.
Orange (1Hz/blinking): Indicates continuous power warning
events during power operation, such as high temperature, high
power, or large current.
Off: Indicates no AC power input.

2.4 Memory
2.4.1 Memory slot location
This motherboard adopts the Intel Eagle Stream platform. Each CPU supports 8
channels, and each channel supports 2 DDR5 memories. The motherboard can support
32 DIMM DDR5 memories. When inserting only one memory, prioritize A0, B0, C0,
D0, E0, F0, G0, H0 (memory slots with blue plastic color). It supports DDR5 ECC
RDIMM/RDIMM-3DS server memory. The positions are as shown in the following
diagram:
memory slot location

2.4.2 Memory installation guidelines
The server can install up to 32 DDR5 memories and supports DDR5 RDIMM
server memory. The memory frequency supports 4400/4800MHz. The memory
installation principles must be followed when configuring the memory (CPU1 is the
same as CPU0).
Figure 2-9
Note：
1. All configured memory must be of DDR5 RDIMM type.
2. For SPR CPUs, at least one DDR5 memory module must be configured.
3. Different types (RDIMM, RDIMM-3DS) and specifications (capacity,
frequency, bit width, rank, height, etc.) of DDR5 memory are not compatible for
mixed usage.
4. Different models of Intel Xeon Scalable processors support varying maximum
memory capacities.
