    (www.supermicro.com/products/superblade for recommended memory. Populating Memory Slots The motherboard of a MBI-6128R-T2/T2X blade module has eight (8) memory slots, four for each processor. Both interleaved and non-interleaved memory are supported, so you may populate any number of DIMM slots. Populating two slots at a time (DIMM1A + DIMM2A, DIMM3A + DIMM4A, etc.) with memory modules of the same size and of the same type will result in dual-channel, interleaved memory, which is faster than single-channel, non-interleaved memory.
