Installation order: memory mirroring with six processors
Memory module installation order for memory mirroring with six processors installed in the server.
The following tables show the DIMM population sequence for memory mirroring when six processors are
installed.
• Processors 1 and 2 are installed in the lower system board of the lower compute tray.
• Processors 3 and 4 are installed in the upper system board of the lower compute tray.
• Processors 5 is in the lower system board of the upper compute tray.
• Processors 6 is installed in the upper system board of the upper compute tray (processor slot 7).
Note: When adding one or more DIMMs during a memory upgrade, you might need to move other DIMMs
that are already installed to new locations.
