52 IBM Power 770 and 780 (9117-MMD, 9179-MHD) Technical Overview and Introduction
Table 2-4 shows the optimal placement of each DIMM-quad within a dual-enclosure system.
Each enclosure must have at least two DIMM-quads installed.

Quads Q1 and Q2 must be identical to each other. Quads Q3 and Q4 must be identical to each other.
Note: For maximum memory performance, the total memory capacity on each memory controller
must be equivalent.
