Installing and Removing Memory

The DIMMs are labelled as DIMM_A1 to DIMM_B and DIMM_D1 to DIMM_E on the board.
Begin populating your memory with DIMM_A1. First add memory in the first socket of each of the
following memory channels before installing the DIMMs in the second socket of a channel. In systems
with two processors, distribute the memory evenly over both processors. Please refer to Chapter 
for more detailed information on the system memory.
