PAGE 16
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION GUIDE – NEC Express5800/R120e-2M    It is recommended to install memory kits in multiples of two (four identical DIMMs) for quad-channel symmetric memory configurations to increase memory transfer speed. When two processors are installed, balance the DIMMs across the two processors. Mix configurations of UDIMM/RDIMM(1600MHz)/RDIMM(1866MHz)/LRDIMM are not supported. 3.2.

Memory Configuration Feature Comparison See the table below for feature comparisons of memory configurations supported.
PAGE 18
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION GUIDE – NEC Express5800/R120e-2M Maximum Memory Speed See the table below for the actual maximum memory transfer speed in Independent Channel / Memory Sparing Configuration. DDR3 memory speed depends on the type of DIMMs, the native memory bus speed of the memory controller and memory configuration. All memory buses operate at the clock frequency of the DIMM with the lowest frequency.
PAGE 19
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION GUIDE – NEC Express5800/R120e-2M Maximum Available Memory See the table below for the maximum memory size that you can actually use on your system. The maximum available memory is less than the maximum physical memory supported by your system because some chipsets require PCI resource space of about 750MB. PCI resource requirements vary depending on the type and the number of PCI cards you are using.
