In which system? No problem in a 2950 (for example), but you can't do it in Rxxx or Txxx systems. Processors with the memory controller onboard MUST have equal configurations on each processor.

R710. I have 2x8GB memory. tried A1,B1 but bios only show 8GB. also tried B1-B9 though so i suspect there could be issue with motherboard? right now i just put 2 memory on cpu 1 dimms. I can still boot up but does this mean cpu 2 will not function properly without memory?

There's nothing wrong with the motherboard.
Yes. Memory MUST be configured equally for both processors.
