Populating DIMMs in Dual-Processor Systems for Optimal System Performance
In dual-processor systems, populate DIMMs into DIMM slots starting with processor 0 (P0) D7, then, alternating between slots associated with processor 0 (P0) and matching slots for processor 1 (P1). Fill the black slots, and then the white slots, as shown in the following figure.
The following table describes the proper order in which to install DIMMs in a dual-processor system using the numbered callouts in the above figure, and the DIMM slot labels (D0 through D11).
