Plugging rules for memory modules in the 9105-22A, 9105-22B, or 9786-22H system

Find information about the configurations and rules that apply to memory modules for the IBM Power S1022 (9105-22A), IBM Power S1022s (9105-22B), and IBM Power L1022 (9786-22H) system.

This information helps you to plan memory module installation in the system.

  • The system supports memory modules of 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB, or 128 GB.
  • A maximum of two memory module feature codes are supported on a system.
  • Equal quantities of the two memory module feature codes is not required.
  • The system does not support mixing DDR4 and DDR5 memory modules.
The following tables list the feature codes of the supported memory modules.
