The X9SCM Motherboard Series supports up to 32GB of Unbuffered (UDIMM) DDR3

ECC 1600/1333 MHz in 4 memory slots.

Note: For memory optimization, use only DIMM modules that have been validated by Supermicro.

For the latest memory updates, please refer to our website a at http://www.supermicro.com/

products/motherboard.

Memory Population Guidelines

When installing memory modules, the DIMM slots should be populated in the following

order: DIMM2A, DIMM2B, DIMM1A and DIMM1B.

• Always use DDR3 DIMM modules of the same size, type and speed.

• Mixed DIMM speeds can be installed. However, all DIMMs will run at the speed

of the slowest DIMM.

• The motherboard will support one DIMM module or three DIMM modules in-

stalled. However for best memory performance, install DIMM modules in pairs.

Recommended Population (Balanced)

DIMM2A Slot DIMM2B Slot DIMM1A Slot DIMM1B Slot Total System Memory

2GB 2GB 4GB

2GB 2GB 2GB 2GB 8GB

4GB 4GB 8GB

4GB 4GB 4GB 4GB 16GB

8GB 8GB 16GB

8GB 8GB 8GB 8GB 32GB

Note: Due to memory allocation to system devices, the amount of memory

that remains available for operational use will be reduced when 4 GB of RAM

is used.
