General Guidelines for Optimizing Memory Performance
•
The blue slots must be populated first. DIMM slots must be populated in the following order:
DIMMB2, DIMMA2, then DIMMB1, DIMMA1.
•
It's recommended to use DDR4 memory of the same type and size.
•
Mixed DIMM speeds can be installed. However, all DIMMs will run at the speed of the
slowest DIMM.
•
The motherboard will support odd-numbered modules (one or three modules installed).
However, to achieve the best memory performance, a balanced memory population is
recommended.
