Optimizing performance
Generally, maximum memory performance is achieved by evenly distributing total desired memory capacity across all
operational channels. Proper individual DIMM capacity selection is essential to maximizing performance. Refer to the
Optimal Memory Conguration table below for more information.
Optimal memory congurations
(Note: The following table does not include all available factory installed congurations)
* For 32-bit operating systems, there is a memory limit of 4 GB.
~ Although supported, these congurations are not factory congurable at this time.
Loading rules
• Each channel includes two DIMM sockets; black and white connector pairs represent a channel. Load all black slots rst
and then load the white slots starting with the slot furthest from the CPU.
• Load the memory modules in order of size, starting with the largest module and nishing with the smallest module.
• See Figure 3 for loading order.
