Populating DIMMs in Dual-Processor Systems for Optimal System Performance
In dual-processor systems, install DIMMs into DIMM slots starting with processor 0 (P0) D5,
alternating between slots associated with processor 0 (P0) and matching slots for processor
1 (P1).
The following list describes the order in which to install DIMMs in a dual-processor system,
which correspond to DIMM slot labels D0 through D11.

Populating DIMMs in Single-Processor Systems for Optimal System Performance
In single-processor systems, install DIMMs only into DIMM slots associated with processor 0
(P0).
The following list describes the order in which to populate DIMMs in a single-processor
system, which correspond to DIMM slot labels D0 through D11.
