Installing the Memory
Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the memory:
• Make sure that the motherboard supports the memory. It is recommended that memory of the same
capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.
(Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest supported memory speeds and memory modules.)
• Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing the
memory to prevent hardware damage.
• Memory modules have a foolproof design. A memory module can be installed in only one direction.
If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.
6 Channel Memory Configuration
This motherboard provides twelve memory sockets and supports 6 Channel Technology. After the memory is
installed, the BIOS will automatically detect the specifications and capacity of the memory. The twelve memory
sockets are divided into six channels and each channel has two memory sockets as following:
Channel A: DIMM_P0_A0-1, DIMM_P0_A0-2
Channel B: DIMM_P0_B0-1, DIMM_P0_B0-2
Channel C: DIMM_P0_C0-1, DIMM_P0_C0-2
Channel D: DIMM_P0_D0-2, DIMM_P0_D0-1
Channel E: DIMM_P0_E0-2, DIMM_P0_E0-1
Channel F: DIMM_P0_F0-2, DIMM_P0_F0-1
