Type
Lenovo TruDDR4 2666 MHz RDIMM or LRDIMM; bus runs at the processor's lower memory-controller speed (2133/2400 MHz)
Protection
ECC, SDDC (x4-based DIMMs); memory mirroring and rank sparing not supported

Storage

Layout
All-M.2: no 2.5"/3.5" drive bays
Boot drives
1 × dual M.2 SATA boot adapter (2 drives), RAID-0/1 via Marvell 88SE9230 controller, UEFI boot mode only
Data drives
Up to 2 × 4-bay M.2 adapters (8 drives total), NVMe only, direct-connected to the processor (no RAID)
