Memory Load Order
When installing memory, use a minimum of one pair in the 8-DIMM carrier, and one quad in the
24-DIMM carrier, of like-sized DIMMs. Insert additional DIMMs into 8- or 24-DIMM memory carriers
in the next available pair or quad, in order of capacity from largest to smallest.
Install DIMMs into the appropriate slots on the 8- and 24-DIMM memory carrier boards; each slot
has a unique ID. Use Figure 65: “8-DIMM Memory Carrier Board Slot IDs” (page 192), or Figure 66:
“24-DIMM Memory Carrier Board Slot IDs” (page 193) to determine where to install DIMMs on the
memory board.
CAUTION: Failure to observe the following cautions results in system degradation or failure:
• Do not mix DIMM sizes or types within a pair or quad.
• Load DIMM quads in order of capacity from largest to smallest. For example, if you have a
quad of 2 GB DIMMs and a quad of 1 GB DIMMs, install the quad of 2 GB DIMMs first.
8-DIMM Memory Carrier Load Order
The 8-DIMM memory carrier has two sides labeled side 0 and side 1, each of which contains a
memory board. The 8-DIMM memory carrier can contain one to four pairs of memory. Pairs of
memory are divided equally between the two sides of the memory carrier. For example, if you
have two pairs of memory to install, load two DIMMs in slots 0A and 0B of side 0, and load two
DIMMs in slots 0A and 0B of side 1.
Table 75 lists the 8-DIMM memory carrier load order.

The DIMM slot IDS are the same for both 8-DIMM memory carrier boards. Unique slots are identified
within the carrier by the side in which they reside. For example, slot 0A is identified as slot 0A,
side 0; or slot 0A, side 1.
Figure 65 shows the DIMM slot IDs for the 8-DIMM memory carrier board.
