Memory Population Guidelines
When installing memory modules, the DIMM slots should be populated in the following order: DIMMA1, DIMMB1 then DIMMA2, DIMMB2
•Always use DDR3 DIMM modules of the same size, type and speed.
•Mixed DIMM speeds can be installed. However, all DIMMs will run at the speed of the slowest DIMM.
•The motherboard will support
However, for best memory performance, install DIMM modules in pairs to activate memory interleaving.
