4.5 DIMM Slot Blanks
The use of DIMM slot blanks is required if the system is configured with up to eight x4 FBDIMMs
which do NOT have an AMB thermal sensor. When using this specific FBDIMM type, the
system cannot provide adequate cooling to the DIMMs, unless DIMM slot blanks are inserted in
the third slot of each memory channel (Slots: A3, B3, C3, and D3).
DIMM slot blanks are not required when the system is configured with FBDIMMs that have AMB
thermal sensors, or when using x8 FBDIMMS with no thermal sensors.
