With one processor
The following table shows the sequence of populating memory modules (with the same capacity) for 
independent mode when only one processor (Processor 1) is installed.

Notes: 
1.  DIMM configurations that support the Sub NUMA Clustering (SNC) feature, which can be enabled via 
UEFI. SNC is not supported if DIMM population does not follow the sequence indicated by the table 
above.
2.  DIMM configurations that support Software Guard Extensions (SGX). See “Enable Software Guard 
Extensions (SGX)” in Setup Guide to enable this feature.
