Removing and installing memory modules

Memory expansion options
The motherboard is equipped with 4 slots for memory modules. You can use DIMM DDR3
memory modules. Technology: Memory transaction rate 1333 MT/sec (PC3-10600),
1600MT/sec (PC3-12800), "unbuffered", "no ECC" or "with ECC". This allows you to expand
Rack PC memory up to 32 GB, of which you can use approx. 3.2 GB for the operating
system and applications in case of 32-bit operating systems. You can install one, two or four
modules.

more are used, the memory available for the 32-bit operating system or applications may
be less than 3.2 GB.
In order to avoid operating faults you may have to remove one or two memory modules or
use a memory module with a smaller capacity so that the real memory expansion on the
motherboard and the reserved memory of the expansion card do not overlap.
