appear as a dual-rank DIMM to the system. The LRDIMM buffer also isolates the electrical loading of the

DRAM from the system to allow for faster operation. These two changes allow the system to support up to
three LRDIMMs per memory channel, providing for up to 50% greater memory capacity and higher memory

operating speed compared to quad-rank RDIMMs.

DIMM identification

To determine DIMM characteristics, use the label attached to the DIMM and the following illustration and

table.
