DIMM installation sequence
Depending on the server model, the server may come with a minimum of one 2 GB or 4 GB DIMM installed in slot 1. When you install additional DIMMs, install them in the order shown in the following table to optimize system performance.
In general, all four channels on the memory interface for each microprocessor can be populated in any order and have no matching requirements.
| Number of installed microprocessors | DIMM connector population sequence |
|---|---|
| One microprocessor installed | 1, 4, 9, 12, 2, 5, 8, 11, 3, 6, 7, 10 |
| Two microprocessors installed | 1, 13, 4, 16, 9, 21, 12, 24, 2, 14, 5, 17, 8, 20, 11, 23, 3, 15, 6, 18, 7, 19, 10, 22 |
