Warning: The current memory configuration is not optimal. Dell recommends a population of 2, 4, or 8 DIMMs. DIMMs should be populated sequentially starting in slot 1.
System has detected a legal but non- optimal population of DIMMs (for example, 1 DIMM, 6 DIMMs,
4 DIMMs in slots 1, 2, 5, and 6, etc.). The system will run with all memory accessible but will experience sub- optimal performance.
Populate 2, 4, or 8 DIMMs sequentially beginning with slot 1. See "System Memory" on page 89.
