Table 4 represents the minimum, middle, and maximum memory combinations possible for the 4, 8,
and 16 GB memory kits available for the DL980 G7 servers. However, for best performance use dual
or quad rank memory DIMMs.

Note:
Max memory depends on the number of processors configured. Four/eight
processor configurations support up to 1TB/2TB of memory, respectively.
However Red Hat 5.6 only supports up to 1TB. Red Hat 6.x will expand
memory support for Oracle once it is available.
