Recommended Memory Configuration
This section explains the recommended DIMM population order rules for the B200 M3 server.
■ All DIMMs must be DDR3 DIMMs.
■ Do not mix:
— DIMMs with different clock rates in a channel
— RDIMMs and LRDIMMs
— ECC and non-ECC DIMMs
■ There are blue, black, and white DIMM slots. Populate the blue slots first.
■ When single- and dual-rank DIMMs are populated for 2DPC, always populate the dual-rank
DIMM in the blue DIMM slot and the single-rank DIMM in the black DIMM slot.
Many memory configurations are possible. For best results, follow Table 26 when populating 1866- and
1600-MHz DIMMs for Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 CPUs and Table 27 on page 42 when populating 1600-MHz DIMMs
for Intel Xeon E5-2600 CPUs.
