Important
- DDR3 memory modules are not interchangeable with DDR2 and the DDR3
standard is not backwards compatible. You should always install DDR3
memory modules in the DDR3 DIMM slots.
- In Dual-Channel mode, make sure that you install memory modules of the
same type and density in different channel DIMM slots.
- To enable successful system boot-up, always insert the memory modules
into the DIM M1 first.
- Due to the chipset resource deployment, the system density will only be
detected up to 7+GB (not full 8GB) when each DIMM is installed with a 2GB
memory module.
