●
If installing four DIMMs, install them in socket pairs: 1/3 and 5/7.
●
If installing six DIMMs, install them in socket pairs: 1/3, 5/7, and 2/4.
●
If installing eight DIMMS, install them in socket pairs: 1/3, 5/7, 2/4, and 6/8.
Each pair must be matched in rank, DRAM technology, speed, and capacity.
NOTE: If adding DIMMs to a system that originally contained only two DIMMs, move the DIMM from
socket five to socket three to maintain proper pairing.
TIP: For best performance, load the largest DIMM pairs in the black slots.
