Note - For maximum reliability and performance, install your Sun Ultra 24 workstation into a proper environment and ensure correct configuration as discussed in this appendix.
DIMM slots are number from DIMM 0 (closest to CPU) to DIMM 3 (farthest from CPU). You should populate DIMMs in the following order: DIMM slot 3 (black), DIMM slot 1 (black), DIMM slot 2 (blue), and DIMM slot 0 (blue).
