2.4.2 Memory compatibility information
The motherboard supports DDR4 RDIMM/LRDIMM server memory, and the memory
frequency supports 2400/2666/2933/3200MHz.
Notice:
The same server must use the same type of DDR4 memory, and all memory must run at
the same speed, and the speed value is the lowest value of the following items:
Memory speed supported by specific CPU.
Maximum operating speed of specific memory configuration (for example, 3200MHz
memory can only be achieved with a single blue slot).
DDR4 memories of different types (RDIMM, LRDIMM) and specifications (capacity,
bay width, rank, height, etc.) do not support mixed use.
