Memory Population Rules 
When considering the memory configuration of your system, you should consider the following items: 
Each channel has three DIMM slots (for example, channel A = slots A1, A2, and A3).
— A channel can operate with one, two, or three DIMMs installed.
— If a channel has only one DIMM, populate slot 1 first (the blue slot).
When both CPUs are installed, populate the DIMM slots of each CPU identically.
— Fill blue slots in the channels first: A1, E1, B1, F1, C1, G1, D1, H1
— Fill black slots in the channels second: A2, E2, B2, F2, C2, G2, D2, H2
— Fill black slots in the channels third: A3, E3, B3, F3, C3, G3, D3, H3
Any DIMM installed in a DIMM socket for which the CPU is absent is not recognized.
Observe the DIMM mixing rules shown in

Notes . . .
1. Although you can have different DIMM capacities in the same slot, this will result in less than optimal 
performance. For optimal performance, all DIMMs in the same slot should be identical.
DIMM Capacity
RDIMM = 16, 32, or 64 GB
DIMMs in the same channel (for 
example, A1, A2, and A3) can have 
different capacities.
For best performance, DIMMs in the 
same slot (for example, A1, B1, C1, 
D1) should have the same capacity.

2. Only 2133-MHz DIMMs are currently available for the HX220c M4 node.
DIMMs will run at the lowest speed 
of the DIMMs/CPUs installed
DIMMs will run at the lowest speed of
