Memory Confi guration Support ( w/4 CPU Boards & 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 8-way
motherboards, such as .
Note:
The diagram below shows DIMM module population for each CPU Board in-
stalled in your system. Please install your processors starting with CPU Board #1.
