Technical rules for memory modules
Memory modules must be installed in a specific sequence based on the memory configuration that you
implement on your server. Understanding the technical rules for DIMMs helps you install the correct DIMMs
in the correct sequence.
Your server has 8 channels, 32 memory slots, and supports:
