l General DIMM Installation Rules
– CPU sockets connected to the installed DIMMs cannot be empty.
– Do not mix LRDIMMs and RDIMMs in the same compute node.
– 2.7.2 DIMM Slots lists the DIMM installation sequence.
– When installing DIMMs in a memory channel, install DIMMs of more ranks and
then DIMMs of fewer ranks (starting from the slot farthest from the CPU in the
channel). For example, install quad-rank DIMMs, then dual-rank DIMMs, and then
sing-rank DIMMs.
l DIMM Installation Rules for Specific Modes
– Installation Rules for the Memory Sparing Mode

n Follow the general DIMM installation rules.
n Install DIMMs in either channels 1 and 2, or channels 3 and 4. The installed
DIMMs must be of the same size and organization.
