That's previous generation:

>Intel® Xeon® processor E7-8800 v4/v3 family

The articles states:

> All three sizes are powered by the latest generation Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8176M (Skylake) processors

You mention the 8176Ms in your original comment, too. The current SuperMicro product that supports those is https://www.supermicro.com/products/system/7U/7089/SYS-7089P... and that only has 96 DIMM slots.

> Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors, 8S-3 UPI up to 10.4GT/s

> 96x 288-pin DDR4 DIMM slots

> Supports up to 12TB DDR4 ECC 3DS LRDIMM in 96 DIMM slots

I think you'll find that this is due to the limitations of the CPU itself:

> Max Memory Size (dependent on memory type) 1.5 TB
