Memory Loading Rules and Guidelines
Use the following rules and guidelines when installing memory:
• Install DIMMs in pairs in the 8-DIMM memory carrier and in quads in the 24-DIMM memory
carrier.
• Ensure all DIMMs within a pair or quad are identical.
• Install quads in order of capacity from largest to smallest. For example, install all 2 GB quads
before 1 GB or smaller quads, and install all 1 GB quads before 512 MB quads.
• Side 0 must have equal or greater memory capacity than side 1.
• Install DIMM pairs or quads based on the following rules:
1. Load pairs or quads into the memory carrier in order, starting with slot 0 and ending
with slot 2.
2. Install the first pair or quad in side 0.
3. Install the second pair or quad in side 1.
4. For the remaining pairs or quads:
a. If both sides of the memory carrier contain the same capacity of memory, install
the next pair or quad in side 0.
b. If side 0 contains more memory capacity than side 1, install the next quad in side
1.
c. If side 1 is full, install the remaining quads in side 0.
Table 6-7 shows several examples of proper memory carrier loading order.
