Independent mode

Independent mode provides high performance memory capability. You can populate all channels with no matching requirements. Individual channels can run at different DIMM timings, but all channels must run at the same interface frequency.

Independent mode with one processor​

Note
If there are three identical DIMMs to be installed for CPU1, and the three DIMMs have the same Lenovo part number, install the DIMMs in slots 1, 2, and 3.
