in performance loss. It is recommended
to populate all memory channels
identically with identical DIMMs for
best performance.
Optimizer population order is not traditional for
4 and 8 DIMM installations of single processor.
For 4 DIMMs: A1, A2, A4, A5
For 8 DIMMs: A1, A2, A4, A5, A7, A8, A10,

processor.

allowed.
NOTE:
Odd number of DIMMs will result in
unbalanced memory configurations, which
in turn will result in performance loss. It is
recommended to populate all memory
channels identically with identical DIMMs
for best performance.
Optimizer population order is not traditional for 8
