DIMM Installation Guidelines
Starting with the socket nearest to the system board's back edge, the DIMM sockets are labeled "DIMM_A" through "DIMM_D" (see
Figure 24). When you install DIMMs, follow these guidelines:
Install a DIMM in socket DIMM_A before socket DIMM_B, socket DIMM_B before socket DIMM_C, and so on.
If you install different sizes of DIMMs, install them in order of descending capacity, beginning with the highest-capacity DIMM in socket
DIMM_A.
You do not need to install DIMMs in pairs.
