The DIMM slot IDS are the same for both 8-DIMM memory carrier boards. Unique slots are identified within the carrier by the side in which they reside. For example, slot 0A is identified as slot 0A, side 0; or slot 0A, side 1.

Figure 3-9shows the DIMM slot IDs for the 8-DIMM memory carrier board.

24-DIMM Memory Carrier Load Order The 24-DIMM memory carrier has two sides, labeled side 0 and side 1, each of which contains a memory carrier board. The 24-DIMM memory carrier can contain up to six quads of memory. DIMM quads are loaded in order of size from largest to smallest capacity.

DIMM quads are loaded in a certain way to balance the memory capacity between the two sides of the memory carrier, starting with side 0. If you have more than two quads of memory to install, load the first quad into slots 0A-0D of side 0, and load the second quad into slots 0A-0D of side

1.For the third and remaining quads of memory see “Memory Loading Rules and Guidelines” (page 70).

The DIMM slot IDS are the same for both 24-DIMM memory carrier boards. Unique slots are identified within the carrier by the side in which they reside. For example, slot 0A is identified as slot 0A, side 0; or slot 0A, side 1.

Figure 3-10shows the DIMM slot IDs for the 24-DIMM memory carrier board.
