Memory
The System x3650 M5 supports TruDDR4 memory. TruDDR4 memory uses the highest-quality components
sourced from Tier 1 DRAM suppliers and only memory that meets strict requirements is selected. It is
compatibility tested and tuned on every System x server to maximize performance and reliability.
TruDDR4 memory has a unique signature programmed into the DIMM, which enables System x servers to verify
whether the memory installed is qualified and supported. Because TruDDR4 memory is authenticated, certain
extended memory performance features can be enabled to extend performance over industry standards. From a
service and support standpoint, System x memory automatically assumes the system's warranty, and service and
support provided worldwide.
The System x3650 M5 supports up to 12 DIMMs with one processor and up to 24 DIMMs when two processors
are installed. Each processor has four memory channels, and there are three DIMMs per channel.
The following rules apply when selecting the memory configuration:
The server supports RDIMMs and LRDIMMs.
Mixing different types of memory (RDIMMs and LRDIMMs) is not supported.
All DIMMs in the server operate at the same speed, which is determined as the lowest value of:
Memory speed that is supported by the specific processor.
Memory speed for selected quantity of DIMMs per channel.
Note: Maximum memory speed can be achieved when Max performance mode is enabled in UEFI.
The following memory protection technologies are supported:
ECC
Chipkill (for x4-based memory DIMMs)
Memory mirroring
Memory rank sparing
Chipkill works only in independent channel mode (the default operational mode) and supports only x4-based
memory DIMMs.
If memory mirroring is used, then DIMMs must be installed in pairs (a minimum of one pair per each processor),
and both DIMMs in a pair must be identical in type and size.
If memory rank sparing is used, then a minimum of one quad-rank DIMM or two single-rank or dual-rank DIMMs
must be installed per populated channel (the DIMMs do not need being identical). In rank sparing mode, one rank
of a DIMM in each populated channel is reserved as spare memory. The size of a rank varies depending on the
DIMMs installed.
Chipkill, memory mirroring, and memory rank sparing modes are mutually exclusive. Only one operational
memory mode can be enabled on a server, and it is a system-wide setting.
System x engineering tested and validated system designs that support memory speeds beyond Intel memory
specifications, which provides benefits for workloads that require memory speed and density. System x TruDDR4
memory is fully supported up to the rated speeds that are shown in the following table. Table cells highlighted with
a gray background indicate when the DIMMs are allowed to operate at a higher speed than Intel specifications
define.
The following table lists memory options available for the System x3650 M5 server.
