With two processors
The following table shows the DIMM population sequence for independent memory mode when two 
processors are installed.

Note: DIMM configurations with an asterisk (*) listed in the table 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.
