This motherboard accommodates four memory modules. It can support four 240-pin
DDR3 1600/1333 (OC)/1066/800. The total memory capacity is 8 GB.
DDR3 SDRAM memory module table
You must install at least one module in any of the four slots. Each module can be
installed with 2 GB of memory; total memory capacity is 8 GB.
The four DDR3 memory sockets (DDR3_1, DDR3_2, DDR3_3, DDR3_4) are di-
vided into two channels and each channel has two memory sockets as following:
Channel 0: DDR3_1, DDR3_2
Channel 1: DDR3_3, DDR3_4
Do not remove any memory module from its antistatic packaging until
you are ready to install it on the motherboard. Handle the modules only
by their edges. Do not touch the components or metal parts. Always
wear a grounding strap when you handle the modules.
Installation Procedure
Refer to the following to install the memory modules.
1 This motherboard supports unbuffered DDR3 SDRAM only.
2 Push the latches on each side of the DIMM slot down.
3 Align the memory module with the slot. The DIMM slots are keyed with
notches and the DIMMs are keyed with cutouts so that they can only be
installed correctly.
4 Check that the cutouts on the DIMM module edge connector match the
notches in the DIMM slot.
5 Install the DIMM module into the slot and press it firmly down until it
seats correctly. The slot latches are levered upwards and latch on to
the edges of the DIMM.
6 Install any remaining DIMM modules.
