Installing The Dimm Module - DFI SD101 User Manual

The system board supports the following memory interface.
Single Channel (SC)
Data will be accessed in chunks of 64 bits (8B) from the memory channels.
Dual Channel (DC)
Data will be accessed in chunks of 128 bits from the memory channels. Dual channel provides
better system performance because it doubles the data transfer rate.
DIMMs are on the same channel.
DIMMs in a channel can be identical or
Single Channel completely different. However, we highly
recommend using identical DIMMs.
Not all slots need to be populated.
DIMMs of the same memory configuration
Dual Channel
are on different channels.
