Sample memory configurations

The following tables show sample memory configurations that follow the appropriate memory guidelines stated in this section.

NOTE: 1R, 2R and 4R in the following tables indicate single-, dual-, quad-rank DIMMs respectively.

NOTE: When using an 86 mm wide heat sink for single processor, the memory module sockets A10 and A12 are not available for population.
