Lockstep Memory population guidelines
For Lockstep memory mode configurations, observe the following guidelines:
• Observe the general DIMM slot population guidelines (on page 36 ).
• 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

For memory configurations with a single processor or multiple processors, populate the DIMM sequentially in
alphabetical order (A through H).
After installing the DIMMs, use RBSU to configure Advanced ECC, online spare, or lockstep memory support.
