  • Make sure that all memory modules are the same part number, brand, model, and rank.

  • Make sure that you install each memory module in the correct dual in-line memory module (DIMM) slot on the system board.

    Note:

    Install either two or four memory modules at a time. You cannot install only one or three memory modules, because those configurations are not supported.

    • If you are installing two memory modules, install them in slot DIMM1 (B) and slot DIMM1 (D).

    • If you are installing four memory modules, install them in slot DIMM0 (A), slot DIMM1 (B), slot DIMM0 (C), and slot DIMM1 (D).

DIMM slots A through D
