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 Compatibility Information
The motherboard supports DDR5 RDIMM/RDIMM-3DS server memory, and the
memory frequency is supported at 4400/4800MHz:
Note：
The same server must use the same model of DDR5 memory, and the
operating speed of all memories must be the same, with the speed value being
the minimum of the following:
The memory speed supported by the specific CPU.
The maximum operating speed of the specific memory configuration.
Different types (RDIMM, RDIMM-3DS) and different specifications (capacity,
bit width, rank, height, etc.) of DDR5 memory are not compatible for mixed
use.
Intel Xeon Scalable processors of different models support different maximum
memory capacities.
