General Memory Module Installation Guidelines

NOTE: Memory configurations that fail to observe these guidelines can prevent your system from starting and producing any video output, hanging during memory configuration, or operating with reduced memory.

This system supports Flexible Memory Configuration, enabling the system to be configured and run in any valid chipset architectural configuration. The following are the recommended guidelines for best performance:

•UDIMMs, RDIMMs, and LRDIMMs must not be mixed.

•x4 and x8 DRAM based DIMMs can be mixed. For more information, see Mode-Specific Guidelines.

•A maximum of two UDIMMs can be populated in a channel.

•Up to three LRDIMMs can be populated regardless of rank count.
