CONFIGURATION GUIDE – NEC Express5800/R120f-2E Storage-Rich
NEC Corporation Revision 3.0 – April 17, 2015 17
 When two processors are installed, balance the DIMMs across the two processors.
 Mix configurations of UDIMM/RDIMM are not supported.
 At least 5 GB of memory is required for VMware ESXi 5.5 and VMware ESXi 6.0.

3.3.1 Independent Channel Configuration
Available slots: 1
Product Name / Description
Part Number
4GB DDR4-2133 REG Memory Kit (1x4GB)
1 x 4GB Registered ECC DIMM, DDR4-2133(PC4-2133)

NOTE:
 Only one Memory Kit can be installed regardless of the number of processors.
Maximum Memory Speed
See the table below for the actual maximum memory transfer speed in Independent Channel / Memory
Sparing Configuration.
DDR4 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.
