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.
