The channels E to H, which are asigned to CPU 2, can only be used when processor 2 has been
configured.
If two processors are configured, both processors can access the entire memory via Intel
®
QuickPath
Interconnect (Intel
®
QPI).
Within a channel, DIMMs must be populated in ascending order, i. e. DIMM 1 must be populated
before DIMM 2 can be installed, and DIMM 2 must be populated before DIMM 3 can be installed.
