Sample Memory Configurations - Dell poweredge t330 Owner's Manual

• Populate all sockets with white release levers first, and then all the sockets with black release levers.
• When mixing memory modules with different capacities, populate the sockets with memory modules
with the highest capacity first. For example, if you want to mix 4 GB and 8 GB DIMMs, populate 8 GB
DIMMs in the sockets with white release levers and 4 GB DIMMs in the sockets with black release
levers.
• Memory modules of different capacities can be mixed provided other memory population rules are
followed (for example, 4 GB and 8 GB memory modules can be mixed).
• Mixing of more than two DIMM capacities in a system is not supported.
• Populate two DIMMs per processor (one DIMM per channel) at a time to maximize performance.

Sample memory configurations

The following table shows sample memory configurations for a single processor configuration.
NOTE: 1R and 2R in the following table indicate single, and dual-rank memory modules
respectively.
