When adding system memory, you may install memory modules in any order. For optimum operation, Dell recommends installing the memory modules starting with socket A (closest to the top edge of the system board) and working toward socket D, leaving no open sockets between installed memory modules.

Table 8-1 lists sample memory configurations.
