Installation order: memory mirroring with eight processors
Memory module installation order for memory mirroring with eight processors installed in the server.
The following tables show the DIMM population sequence for memory mirroring when eight 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 and 6 are installed in the lower system board of the upper compute tray.
• Processors 7 and 8 are installed in the upper system board of the upper compute tray.
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.
