2.2. Installing memory modules
Before installing the memory modules, please comply with the following conditions:
1. Please make sure that the memory is supported by the motherboard. It is
recommended to use the memory with similar capacity, specifications and brand.
2. Before installing or removing memory modules, please make sure that the computer
power is switched off to prevent hardware damage.
3. Memory modules have a foolproof insertion design. A memory module can be installed
in only one direction. If you are unable to insert the module, please switch the direction.
The motherboard supports DDR3 memory modules, whereby BIOS will automatically detect memory
capacity and specifications. Memory modules are designed so that they can be inserted only in one
direction. The memory capacity used can differ with each slot.
Installation Steps:
Step 1. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot, and push it down.
Step 2. Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM slots to lock the DIMM module.
NOTE! DIMM must be populated in order starting from DIMM1/DIMM3/DIMM5 socket.
For dual-channel operation, DIMMs must be installed in matched pairs.
Step 3. Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove the DIMM module.
