PowerEdge R640 + memory 2933mhz

Hi all.
My R640 config is: 2x Xeon Silver 4216 + 12 rdimms 32gb 2933mhz 2xRank (6 dimm per proc, 1 dimm per channel).

BIOS version 2.10.2 

iDRAC Firmware Version 5.00.00.00

Can't get the working memory frequency at 2933 megahertz. Through the idrac interface in System Profile Settings> Memory Frequency, the setting with a frequency of 2933 mhz is present, as on pic

but it is not in the BIOS interface, there is only 2400 mhz. An attempt to change this parameter through idrac gives a warning and fails and hardware inventory shows the same working 2400mhz.

The user manual for both r640 and xeon 4216 in turn confirms that this configuration is supported.

Can you advise something?

Hello,

 

Looking at Intel's page, it seems the fastest speed supported by the 4216 is 2400 MHz.

You're right, it's my fault. I did not take into account that the specification shows the maximum parameters for the entire family of processors, and not a specific one. Just inattentively looked through the specification.
Thank you, the question is closed.
