Table 3-7 DIMMs placement order
As shown in Table 3-7, in Mirroring mode DIMMs must be installed in pairs (minimum of one
pair per CPU). Both DIMMs in a pair must be identical in type and size.
Chipkill is supported only in RAS mode (Performance mode is not supported), and DIMMs
must be installed in a pair.
