• DIMMs should be populated starting farthest from the processor on each channel.
• For DIMM spare replacement, install the DIMMs per slot number as instructed by the system software.

Advanced ECC population guidelines
For Advanced ECC mode configurations, observe the following guidelines:
general DIMM slot population guidelines
• DIMMs may be installed individually.
Online spare population guidelines
For Online Spare memory mode configurations, observe the following guidelines:
• Observe the general DIMM slot population guidelines.
• Each channel must have a valid online spare configuration.
• Each channel can have a different valid online spare configuration.
• Each populated channel must have a spare rank. A single dual-rank DIMM is not a valid configuration.
Population order
For memory configurations with a single processor or multiple processors, DIMMs must be populated
sequentially in alphabetical order (A through H).
After installing the DIMMs, use the BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) in the UEFI System Utilities to
configure supported AMP modes.
