Independent-channel mode

Independent-channel mode provides no redundancy.

There is no matching requirement for DIMMs in independent-channel mode. At least one DIMM must be installed for each microprocessor. Install DIMMs in the order shown in the following tables.

Table 1. Independent-channel mode DIMM installation sequence.

The independent-channel mode DIMM installation sequence table is a three-column table where the rows indicate the DIMM installation sequence for independent-channel mode. Column 1 lists the DIMM installation order. Column 2 indicates the DIMM connectors to populate for systems with one microprocessor. Column 3 indicates the DIMM connectors to populate for systems with two microprocessors.
