DIMM Replacement Recommendations
When installing and replacing DIMMs, follow the guidelines below:
Install higher capacity (ranked) DIMMs first, following the population sequence for the memory mode
being used.
Do not mix RDIMMs, LRDIMMs and 3DS DIMMs in the same node.
Do not mix size and speed of DIMMs installed in DIMM connectors 1 and 3. The size and speed of the
DIMMs in connectors 1 and 3 must match each other. However, they do not have to be the same size
and speed as the DIMMs installed in connectors 2 and 4.
Use compatible DIMMs from various manufacturers in the same pair.
The maximum operating speed of the node is determined by the slowest DIMM in the node.
