General memory module installation guidelines
Your system supports Flexible Memory Configuration, enabling the system to be configured and run in
any valid chipset architectural configuration. The following are the recommended guidelines for best
performance:
•
LRDIMMs, and RDIMMs must not be mixed.
•
x4 and x8 DRAM based DIMMs can be mixed. For more information, see the Mode-specific guidelines
