5.5.4 Memory Population for the 8-way Motherboard w/Half CPU & Full
Memory Confi guration Support ( w/4 CPU Boards & 48 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 .
