The server utilizes two memory boards. Each memory board consists of eight slots, numbered sequentially.
The paired banks are identified by the letters A through D. Each memory board supports 2x1 interleaving.
For maximum performance, HP recommends that both memory boards be populated with the same total
amount of memory to support 4x1 interleaving across both memory branches.
