The table illustrates a progressive installation of DIMMs that ensures optimal
system performance. Based on this example, DIMM pairs are installed as
follows:
■
The first pair of DIMMs in slots 1 and 3 (Group A)
■
The second pair of DIMMs in slots 5 and 7 (Group B)
NOTE
: You can install the second pair in slots 2 and 4 (Group A), but it is not
recommended. Optimal performance is achieved only when alternating DIMM
pairs between Groups A and B.
■
The third pair of DIMMs in slots 2 and 4 (Group A)
■
The fourth pair of DIMMs in slots 6 and 8 (Group B)
