Observe the general DIMM slot population guidelines (on page

).

DIMM configuration on all channels of a processor must be identical.

In multi-processor configurations, each processor must have a valid Lockstep Memory configuration.

In multi-processor configurations, each processor may have a different valid Lockstep Memory

configuration.

Population order

For memory configurations with a single processor or multiple processors, populate the DIMM slots in the

following order:

LRDIMM: Sequentially in alphabetical order (A through H)

RDIMM: Sequentially in alphabetical order (A through H)

After installing the DIMMs, use RBSU to configure Advanced ECC, online spare, or lockstep memory support.
