3.1.3.3.1
Minimum Non-Mirrored Mode Configuration
The workstation board is capable of supporting a minimum of one DIMM installed. However, for
system performance reasons, Intel’s recommendation is that at least two DIMMs are installed.
The following diagram shows the recommended minimum DIMM memory configuration.
Populated DIMM slots are shown in gray.

Note:
The workstation board supports single DIMM mode operation. Intel will only validate and
support this configuration with a single 512 MB x8 FBDIMM installed in DIMM socket A1.
3.1.3.4
Non-mirrored Mode Memory Upgrades
The minimum memory upgrade increment is two DIMMs per branch. The DIMMs must cover the
same slot position on both channels. DIMMs pairs must be identical with respect to size, speed,
and organization. DIMMs that cover adjacent slot positions do not need to be identical.
When adding two DIMMs to the configuration shown in Figure 13 (above), you should populate
the DIMMs in DIMM sockets C1 and D1 as shown in the following diagram. Populated DIMM
sockets are shown in gray.
