Dell EMC NVDIMM-N Persistent Memory User Guide

Modular Chassis Hardware Configuration

The MX7000 Modular chassis currently offers two different servers that support NVDIMM-N: MX740c (2-socket) and MX840c (4-socket). In order for an power loss condition to be detected, the chassis must have at least one Management Module installed. While not a requirement for NVDIMM-N support, dual Management Modules provide additional redundancy and robustness to the NVDIMM-N solution.

If a user is operating a chassis with NVDIMM-N equipped servers and a Management Module firmware update is performed, it is recommended that the chassis be equipped with two Management Modules. If the chassis has a single Management Module, the NVDIMM-Ns in the server may be placed in read-only mode during the Management Module upgrade.
