General memory module installation guidelines
To ensure optimal performance of your system, observe the following general guidelines when configuring your system memory. If your
system's memory configurations fail to observe these guidelines, your system might not boot, stop responding during memory
configuration, or operate with reduced memory.
The memory bus may operate at frequency can be 2666 MT/s, 2400 MT/s, or 2133 MT/s depending on the following factors:
System profile selected (for example, Performance Optimized, or Custom [can be run at high speed or lower])
