Checking the manual of this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131636

it colors the DIMM slots blue/black/blue/black

labeling them DIMM_A1,DIMM_A2,DIMM_B1,DIMM_B2

and says that 2 DIMM modules can be placed either in A1 + B1 or in A2 +
B2, that is either in the 2 blue slots or in the 2 black slots, but
preferably in the 2 blue slots.
