Chapter 3: Maintenance and Component Installation
DIMM Module Population Sequence
do keep the following in mind:
• Mixed DIMM speeds can be installed. However, all DIMMs will run at the speed of the
slowest DIMM.
• The motherboard will support odd-numbered modules (1 or 3 modules installed). Populating
with an even number of DIMMs will result in interleaved memory. However, to achieve the
best memory performance, fully populate the motherboard with validated memory modules.
