Recommend DIMM Module Combination
1. One DIMM Module ----Plug in DIMM1
2. Two DIMM Modules---Plug in DIMM1 and DIMM2 for Dual channel function
Dual channel Limited!
1. Dual channel function only supports when 2 DIMM Modules plug in either both DIMM1
& DIMM2.
2. DIMM1 & DIMM2 must be the same type, the same size, and the same frequency for
dual channel function.
Generally, installing DDRIII modules to your motherboard is very easy, you can refer
to figure 2-4 to see what a 240-Pin DDRIII 800/DDRIII 1066/DDRIII 1333 SDRAM
module looks like.
NOTE!
When you install DIMM module fully into the DIMM socket the eject tab
should be locked into the DIMM module very firmly and fit into its indention
on both sides
