Memory Population Tables for the X11MP Motherboards
For your system memory to work properly, please follow the memory population tables
below to install your memory modules on the X11MP (4-way/8-way) motherboards.
These memory population tables were created based on the general memory popula-
tion guidelines provided by Intel to support Supermicro's X11 Series motherboards.
5.5.1 Memory Population for the 4-way Motherboard w/Half Memory
Confi guration Support ( with 24 DIMM Slots Installed)
Note 1
: Unbalanced memory confi guration decreases memory performance and is not
recommended for Supermicro motherboards.
Note 2
: The following memory population table supports Supermicro's X11MP 4-way
motherboards, such as .

( w/4 CPUs & 24 DIMMs Installed)
4 CPUs & 24 DIMMs
(6 DIMMs per CPU)
Memory Population Sequence
CPU1 + 6 DIMMs
CPU1: P1-DIMMC1/P1-DIMMB1/P1-DIMMA1/P1-DIMMD1/P1-DIMME1/P1-DIMMF1
CPU2 + 6 DIMMs
CPU2: P2-DIMMC1/P2-DIMMB1/P2-DIMMA1/P2-DIMMD1/P2-DIMME1/P2-DIMMF1
CPU3 + 6 DIMMs
CPU3: P3-DIMMC1/P3-DIMMB1/P3-DIMMA1/P3-DIMMD1/P3-DIMME1/P3-DIMMF1
CPU4 + 6 DIMMs
