Mounting Conditions for Memory with different sizes
Condition 1:
To mix different DIMM types on a certain SB see chapter “Mounting additional Memory with different sizes”.
Condition 2:
Two sets of memory modules with the same size (16 DIMMs) must be mounted. When adding memory, two sets of
memory modules with the same size must be added at the same time.
Condition 3:
When mounting DIMMs to a specific group, the memory size must be identical within this group. DIMMs of different
memory sizes cannot be mounted within a group.
Condition 4:
Memory size in Group A must be greater than or equal to that in Group B.
These rules are true for mirrored and not mirrored memory configurations.
When mounting additional memory with different memory sizes transfer already-mounted DIMMs as necessary and
follow the above conditions.
