Rules you need to follow when installing or replacing a DIMM.
• Slot:
– When a data bus daisy chain topology is used: populate DIMMs from farthest slot (slot 1) to closest
slot (slot 0) to the processor on a per-channel basis.
– When a data bus balanced tee route topology is used: populate DIMMs in either slot on a per-
channel basis.

With two processors
• Capacity:
DIMMs with different capacities (only two different capacities) can be mixed, install the one with the
highest capacity first.
• Rank:
DIMMs with different ranks can be mixed, install the one with the highest rank first.
• Frequency:
DIMMs with different frequencies can be mixed in the same channel.
• Voltage:
DIMMs with different operating voltage cannot be mixed. (The only supported DIMM voltage is 1.2V.)
• ECC/Non-ECC:
ECC and non-ECC DIMM cannot be mixed. (Non-ECC DIMM is not supported for the server.)
• DRAM:
x4 and x8 DRAM based DIMMs can be mixed, but not in the same channel.
• Type:
DIMMs of different base module types can be mixed, but not in the same channel.
• Vendor:
DIMMs from different vendors can be mixed in the same channel.
