IBM eXFlash DIMM planning considerations
Consider the following rules when planning for IBM eXFlash DIMMs:
A maximum of one eXFlash DIMM per DDR3 memory channel is supported.

At least one RDIMM must be installed in the same memory channel as eXFlash DIMM.

eXFlash DIMMs only support RDIMMs; other memory types are not supported.

eXFlash DIMMs with different capacities (that is, 200 GB and 400 GB) cannot be intermixed in the

same server.
eXFlash DIMMs are supported only in memory performance mode; other memory modes of

operations (such as lockstep, memory mirroring, and memory sparing) are not supported.
IBM System x3650 M4 considerations
The x3650 M4 has limited support for IBM eXFlash DIMMs. Only the following x3650 M4 components are
supported by IBM eXFlash DIMMs:
Quantity: Four or eight eXFlash DIMMs; other eXFlash DIMM quantities are not supported.

Operating system: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Server x64 Edition (Update 4).

Processor:

Intel Xeon Processor E5-2667 v2 8C 3.3GHz 25MB Cache 1866MHz 130W
o
Intel Xeon Processor E5-2643 v2 6C 3.5GHz 25MB Cache 1866MHz 130W
o
Intel Xeon Processor E5-2697 v2 12C 2.7GHz 30MB Cache 1866MHz 130W
o
Intel Xeon Processor E5-2690 v2 10C 3.0GHz 25MB Cache 1866MHz 130W
o
Memory: 16 GB (1x16 GB, 2Rx4, 1.5V) PC3-14900 CL13 ECC DDR3 1866MHz LP RDIMM.

Adapter: Intel X520 Dual Port 10GbE SFP+ Embedded Adapter for IBM System x.
