It is recommended to install memory kits in multiples of four (identical DIMMs) per processor 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 64GB memory kit and 4GB/8GB/16GB/32GB memory kit are not supported.

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.


It is recommended to set RAID array configuration drives less than eight per disk group in order to
minimize the risk of becoming multiple hard drives failure.

To configure a large-capacity RAID array, it is recommended to configure in RAID 6 or RAID 60 in
order to minimize the risk of becoming multiple hard drives failure during the RAID rebuilding process.

For VMware ESXi 5.5 and ESXi 6.0, there are some limitations concerning the number of installable

NOTE:

All drives within a RAID array should be of the same type, capacity and rotation speed.

Up to two kinds of drives selected from SAS 10K HDDs, SAS 15K HDDs, SATA HDDs, SAS SSDs,
SATA SSDs (ME) and SATA SSDs (VE) can be mixed.

To configure a large-capacity RAID array, it is recommended to configure in RAID 6 or RAID 60 in
order to minimize the risk of becoming multiple hard drives failure during the RAID rebuilding process.

The 4Kn sector drives are make-to-order products. Please consult your sales representative in regard
to production lead time.

When you select 4Kn sector HDD, confirm whether your applications support hard drives with 4 Kn
sector size. For more information, visit the NEC website at:
