ASUS RS500A-E6/PS4

The motherboard comes with sixteen (16) Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) Dual Inline 

Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets.
The figure illustrates the location of the DDR3 DIMM sockets:

You may install 1GB/2GB/4GB/8GB/16GB Registerd or 1GB/2GB/4GB Unbuffered 

with ECC/Non-ECC DDR3 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets using the memory 

configurations in this section.

•  Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum 

compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the 

same vendor.

•  For CPU1 configuraton, install DIMMs from the orange slots and in the 

order as follows: DIMM_A2 -> DIMM_C2 -> DIMM_B2 -> DIMM_D2. 

For CPU1 + CPU2 configuraton, install DIMMs from the orange slots and in 

the order as follows: DIMM_A2 -> DIMM_E2 -> DIMM_C2 -> DIMM_G2.

•  For Quad Ranks DIMMs, when installing less than or equal to four 

DIMMs: 

For CPU1 configuration, install DIMMs to the orange slots and in the order 

as follows: DIMM_A2 -> DIMM_C2 -> DIMM_B2 -> DIMM_D2. 

For CPU1 + CPU2 configuration, install DIMMs to the orange slots and in 

the order as follows: DIMM_A2 -> DIMM_E2 -> DIMM_C2 -> DIMM_G2.

•  For Quad Ranks DIMMs, when installing more than four DIMMs: 

For CPU1 configuration, install DIMMs in the order as follows: DIMM_A2 

-> DIMM_C2 -> DIMM_B2 -> DIMM_D2 -> DIMM_A1 -> DIMM_C1 -> 

DIMM_B1 -> DIMM_D1. 

For CPU1 + CPU2 configuration, install DIMMs in the order as follows: 

DIMM_A2 -> DIMM_E2 -> DIMM_C2 -> DIMM_G2 ->  DIMM_B2 -> 

DIMM_F2 -> DIMM_D2 -> DIMM_H2 --> DIMM_A1 -> DIMM_E1 -> 

DIMM_C1 -> DIMM_G1 ->  DIMM_B1 -> DIMM_F1 -> DIMM_D1 -> 

DIMM_H1.
