3. Memory options System x3550 M5 supports TruDDR4 Memory TruDDR Memory uses the highest quality components sourced from Tier 1 DRAM suppliers and only memory that meets our strict requirements is selected It is compatibility tested and tuned on every System x server to maximize performance and reliability TruDDR4 Memory will have a unique signature programmed into the DIMM which will enable System x servers to verify whether the memory installed is qualified 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 server supports up to 12 DIMMs when one processor is installed 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 e server supports RDIMMs and LRDIMMs e Mixing different types of memory RDIMMs and LRDIMMs is not supported e The maximum quantity of DIMMs that can be installed in the server depends on the number of processors e DIMMs in the server operate at the same speed which is determined as the lowest value of the following speeds e Memory speed that is supported by the specific processor e Low
