The command dmidecode --type memory is used to retrieve detailed information about the server's memory, including the maximum capacity supported by the motherboard. This is critical when planning upgrades or diagnosing memory-related issues. The other commands listed either provide information about the overall system (dmidecode -s system-product-name), display usage by current components (lsblk), or provide specific processor information (lscpu), but do not offer details about maximum RAM capacity.
