Note: Only fully buffered DDR2 DIMMs (FBDIMMs) are supported on this server board. See the Intel® Server Board S5000PSL/S5000XSL Tested Memory List for a list of supported memory for this server board.

3.1.3.3DIMM Population Rules and Supported DIMM Configurations

DIMM population rules depend on the operating mode of the memory controller, which is determined by the number of DIMMs installed. DIMMs must be populated in pairs. DIMM pairs are populated in the following DIMM slot order: A1 & B1, C1 & D1, A2 & B2, C2 & D2. DIMMs within a given pair must be identical with respect to size, speed, and organization. However, DIMM capacities can be different between different DIMM pairs.
