Ram options 15400 appliance

[Fernando_Lourei]

Hi,

In the model 15400 i see only available 8Gb, 24Gb, and 64Gb or ram options available.

Anybody know why can not use the HPP 24Gb + the 8 GB that comes by default base and have 32 GB of ram on the appliances? 

I noticed that in the 15600 32Gb are supported.. this is a hardware/software limitation or a simple commercial strategy?

Thank you.

That is simply how many slots for RAM modules are available - for HPP 24, you add 16GB to the base 8GB (looks like 3 slots for RAM are availabel). With 16GB 15600, you add 16GB for 32GB. And yes, it is commercial strategy to build machines with power and machines with more power  !

Thanks for the answer

My curiosity is from the fact that we have 8 slots.. why not using the 4 slot? and why it can be used in the 64GB setup.. supposing that the motherboard has dual ddr the 24Gb is a "strange" setup..

Appliances are a special hardware, so this kind of question is just leading nowhere - it may well be that the 15400 has 2x4GB, the 15600 4x4GB basic RAM and HPP update 4x4GB adding to 24 / 32 GB.

Why use appliances ? Because under support, you will receive an identical replacement hardware on the next business day, making RMA more easy than OpenServer hardware.

Hey guys!

Besides the topic, does anyone know if the checkpoint 15400 motherboard supports R-DIMM or U-DIMM memories?
I believe R-DIMM is more appropriate, right?
