Updating the BIOS Installing and Removing Memory The Intel® Workstation Board WX58BP has four 240-pin DDR3 DIMM sockets arranged in three channels (A, B, and C). Channel A shares two sockets (DIMM 0 and DIMM 1) and Channels B and C have one socket each. Guidelines for Memory Configuration Before installing DIMMs, read and follow these guidelines for memory configuration. You can achieve optimal memory performance by installing three matched DIMMS of equal speed and size in the blue DIMM slots (Channel A, DIMM 0, Channel B, and Channel C) as shown in Figure 14. Figure 14. Triple Channel Memory Configuration NOTE Installing memory in Channel A, DIMM 1 may result in less than optimal memory performance. To obtain dual channel memory operation, install matching DIMMs as shown in Figure 15. A typical single channel configuration is shown in Figure 16. Figure 15. Dual Channel Memory Configuration 35

Installing and Removing Memory
The Intel
®
Workstation Board WX58BP has four 240-pin DDR3 DIMM sockets arranged
in three channels (A, B, and C). Channel A shares two sockets (DIMM 0 and DIMM 1)
and Channels B and C have one socket each.
Guidelines for Memory Configuration
Before installing DIMMs, read and follow these guidelines for memory configuration.
You can achieve optimal memory performance by installing three matched DIMMS of
equal speed and size in the blue DIMM slots (Channel A, DIMM 0, Channel B, and
Channel C) as shown in Figure 14.
Figure 14.
Triple Channel Memory Configuration
NOTE
Installing memory in Channel A, DIMM 1 may result in less than optimal memory
performance.
To obtain dual channel memory operation, install matching DIMMs as shown in
Figure 15. A typical single channel configuration is shown in Figure 16.
