Memory Population Guidelines
When installing memory modules, the DIMM slots should be populated in the fol-
lowing order: DIMMA1, DIMMB1, DIMMC1 and DIMMD1.
•
Always use DDR3 DIMM modules of the same size, type and speed.
•
Mixed DIMM speeds can be installed. However, all DIMMs will run at the speed
of the slowest DIMM.
•
The motherboard will support one or three DIMM modules installed. For best
memory performance, install DIMM modules in pairs.
