Hardware Upgrades Populating DIMM Sockets The system will automatically operate in single channel mode, dual channel Asymmetric mode, or higher-performing dual cahnnel Interleaved mode, depending on how the DIMMs are installed. ■ The system will operate in single channel mode if the DIMM sockets are populated in one channel only. ■ The system will operate in dual channel Asymmetric mode if the total memory capacity of the DIMMs in Channel A is not equal to the total memory capacity of the DIMMs in Channel B. ■ The system will operate in a higher-performing dual channel Interleaved mode if the total memory capacity of the DIMMs in Channel A is equal to the total memory capacity of the DIMMs in Channel B. However, the technology and device width can vary between the channels. For example, if Channel A is populated with two 512MB DIMMS and Channel B is populated with one 1GB DIMM, the system will operate in Interleaved mode. ■ In any mode, the maximm operational speed is determined by the slowest DIMM in the system.
