Cisco UCS C460 M4 High-Performance Rack-Mount Server
CONFIGURING the SERVER
19
The minimum DIMM configuration is at least one matched DIMM pair installed in a memory
riser on either CPU1 or CPU2. All four CPUs can run from a single DIMM pair.
DIMMs are required to be populated in pairs. DIMMs for this server are available as two-DIMM
kits.
The DIMMs in any given pair must be identical.
Any DIMM installed in a memory riser corresponding to an empty CPU slot becomes
inaccessible.
For optimal performance, distribute DIMMs evenly across all installed CPUs and memory
buffers.
Do not mix RDIMMs and LRDIMMs.
DIMMs within a channel are populated starting with the DIMMs farthest from the memory
buffer in a fill-farthest approach.
Matched pairs of risers on paired DDR3 channels must have identical DIMM configurations.
If any GPU is installed, the maximum amount of DIMM memory allowed in the server is 1 TB
(for example, 32x32 GB DIMMs or 64x16 GB DIMMs).
If a system uses 64 GB DIMMs, the maximum ambient temperature is 32 °C (89.6 °F). In
addition, systems with 64 GB DIMMs cannot implement any GPUs.
For more information about memory, see CPUs and DIMMs on page 57.
