Follow these guidelines when configuring your system memory. If the memory configurations are not properly set, your system may not boot, stop responding during memory configuration, or operate with reduced memory.
The memory bus operates at a speed of 3200 MT/s depending on the following factors:
MT/s indicates DIMM speed in MegaTransfers per second.
The memory bus supports Fault Resilient Memory-Non Uniform Memory Access.
The system supports Flexible Memory Configuration, enabling the system to be configured and run in any valid chipset architectural configuration. The following are the recommended guidelines for installing memory modules:
Processor | Configuration | Memory population | Memory population information |
---|---|---|---|
Dual processor (Start with processor1. Processor 1 and processor 2 population should match) | Optimizer (Independent channel) population order | A{1}, B{1}, A{2}, B{2}, A{3}, B{3}, A{4}, B{4}, A{5}, B{5}, A{6}, B{6}, A{7}, B{7} A{8}, B{8}, A{9}, B{9}, A{10}, B{10}, A{11}, B{11}, A{12}, B{12}, A{13}, B{13}, A{14}, B{14}, A{15}, B{15}, A{16}, B{16} | 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 24 and 32 DIMMs are supported per system. Optimizer population order is not traditional for 8 and 16 DIMMs installations for dual processor. |
