Following the formula I've used before, when I added two 4GB DIMM's to a DL380G6, I populated the white slots first. I took the machine from 2x4 GB, to 4 x 4GB. I allocated one new DIMM to each of the processors.
What I got suprised me: the machine doesn't even report new memory as being inserted. The new memory doesn't keep the machine from booting, or even throw a beep code.
Before I made the insertion, I read in the user guide that memory needs to be inserted in order, from slots A to I (for each processor, I guess): two procesors, nine slots for each. So: does that mean, in order to run 8GB worth of memory, that I should insert the new DIMM right next to the original DIMM? Should it appear, then, in slots A and B, and should I just leave the other slots empty?
I searched the motherboard carefully, but I didn't see any letter labels on the slots. If I stand behind the machine and look forward, from back to front, is slot A the one farthest to the left for each processor?
Thanks in Advance.
