Single Channel (Asymmetric) Mode Configurations
NOTE:
Dual channel (Interleaved) mode configurations provide the highest
memory throughput.
Figure 10 - shows a single channel configuration using one DIMM. In this example, only the
DIMM0 (blue) socket of Channel A is populated. Channel B is not populated.

Single Channel (Asymmetric) Mode Configuration with One DIMM
Figure 11- shows a single channel configuration using three DIMMs. In this example, the
combined capacity of the two DIMMs in Channel A does not equal the capacity of the single
DIMM in the DIMM0 (blue) socket of Channel B.

Flex Mode Configuration
NOTE:
The use of flex mode requires DIMMs to be installed in both channels.
Figure 12 shows a flex mode configuration using two DIMMs. The operation is as follows:
•
The 512 MB DIMM in the Channel A, DIMM 0 socket and the lower 512 MB of the
DIMM in the Channel B, DIMM 0 socket operate together in dual channel mode.
•
The remaining (upper) 512 MB of the DIMM in Channel B operates in single channel
mode.
