Re: N4000 (A3639A and A3639B) memory question
So if you have done that assessment already ( I bet you did ) , then you can inter-change that memory modules.
You can run CSTM utility to get information of the servers
Run cstm -> select all -> infolog
the infolog will give you all details of the memory slots besides other information.
Another way is to connect to GSP annd get the installed hardware information.
Remember you have to install memory modules
evenly among memory carriers.
Please refer the hardware installation doc which you may have. You can refer the following doc as well.

Solutionsomething about the wording first:
a DIMM is a component that holds the integrated circuit. In this case, 2 DIMMs resulting in a memory MODULE. 2 Memory DIMMs have to be installed as a pair in 2 corresponding slots (e.g. 0A/0B) on a CARRIER. Your system has 4 memory carriers installed, each with 2 available slots. So you are able to add up to 8 new DIMMS (4 Modules) to your system.
-OR-
you can remove several modules from your system (e.g. 2A/2B from every carrier = 4GB memory).
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: N4000 (A3639A and A3639B) memory question
You have 4 memory carrier boards installed on slots Ext0-Ext3 . These slots are then interfaced with system board at the backend.
Each memory carrier board has 8 slots numbered 0a 2a 1a 3a 3b 1b 2b 0b. On these slots DIMMs are paired and numbered 0a/b, 1a/b, 2a/b, 3a/b. You have all 512MB DIMMs installed. 3a/b pair on each carrie board is free.
For DIMMs to work , both DIMMs in a pair slot must be of same type i.e. same part number. We need to fill up the pair at a time, not just one Module in a lot . Since the Memory interleaving is ON , maintain DIMMs evenly among the carriers ( even if you are trying to remove additional memory from servers )i.e fill first pair of carries 0 , 0a/b and then first pair of carrier 1 , 0a/b and so on. This will ensure best performance
Maintain the slot order on each carrier board as 0a/b , 1a/b, 2a/b , 3a/b.
Just ensure all above to avoid any troubles like PDC errors .
