- Dual-channel DDR works ONLY in the 5 combinations listed in
the table shown in the previous page.
- Please select the identical memory modules to install on the dual
channel, and DO NOT install three memory modules on three
DIMMs, or it may cause some failure.
- Always insert the memory modules into the GREEN slots first, and
it is strongly recommended not to insert the memory modules into
the ORANGE slots while the GREEN slots are left empty.
- This mainboard DO NOT support the memory module installed
with more than 18 pieces of IC (integrated circuit).
- Due to the South Bridge resource deployment, the system density
will only be detected up to 3+GB (not full 4GB) when each DIMM is
installed with an 1GB memory module.

The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.

You can barely see the golden finger if the module is properly in-
serted in the socket.
