3RIMMs work in identical pairs, so they must be from the same vendor, have the same speed, and memory size density within each channel (see the memory table).

3When C-RIMMs are used to fill empty sockets, they must be placed in the RIMM A2 and RIMM B2 sockets. The RIMMs must be inserted in the RIMM A1 and RIMM B1 sockets.

The following table illustrates the initial combinations of RIMMs you can use and the insertion sequence.
