DDR3 memory population guidelines
For detailed memory configuration rules and guidelines, please use the Online DDR3 Memory Configuration Tool:

Each Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 family processor socket contains four memory channels that support two DIMMs each for a total of eight
(8) DIMM per installed processor or a grand total of sixteen (16) DIMMs for the server. Up to 16GB capacity DIMMs are supported for
256GB of memory (16 DIMM slots x 16GB per DIMM).
Memory Population Rules and Guidelines:
White DIMM slots denote the first slot of a channel. For 1 DPC (DIMM per channel) populate white slots only.
Install DIMMs only if the corresponding processor is installed.
If only one processor is installed in a two processor system, only half of the DIMM slots are available.
To maximize performance, it is recommended to balance the total memory capacity between all installed processors and to load
the channels similarly whenever possible.
Populate DIMMs from heaviest load (quad-rank) to lightest load (single-rank) within a channel
Heaviest load (DIMM with most ranks) within a channel goes furthest from the processor
RDIMMs operating at either 1.35V or 1.5V may be mixed in any order, but the system will power them at the higher voltage.
Do not mix RDIMMs and UDIMMs.
The Intel Xeon E5-2620 processor does not support DIMMs at 1.35V. Using the HP RBSU, 1.35V DIMMs can be changed to operate
at 1.5V.
The Intel Xeon E5-2620 processor does not support DIMMs at 1.35V. Using the HP RBSU, 1.35V DIMMs can be changed to operate
at 1.5V.
DIMMs of different speeds may be mixed in any order; the server will select a common optimal speed.
The maximum memory speed is a function of the memory type, memory configuration, and processor model.
The maximum memory capacity is a function of the memory type and number of installed processors.
