Populating DIMMs in Single-Processor Systems
for Optimal System Performance
In single-processor systems, install DIMMs only into DIMM sockets associated with processor
0 (P0). Starting with socket P0 D0, first filling the black sockets, then the black sockets with
white tabs, and then the white sockets, as shown in the following figure. Notice that the order
of populating the black sockets is Ch C first, Ch A second, Ch D third, and Ch B last. Repeat
the same population sequence for the black sockets with white tabs, and finally for the white
sockets.
