You must install at least one module in any of the four slots. Total memory capacity
is 16 GB.
The four DDR3 memory sockets (DDR3_1, DDR3_2, DDR3_3 and DDR3_4) are
divided into two channels and each channel has two memory sockets as following:
Channel A: DDR3_1, DDR3_2
Channel B: DDR3_3, DDR3_4
Mode
2 DIMMs
3 DIMMs
3 DIMMs
4 DIMMs
Due to Intel CPU spec definition, the system will not boot if only one DIMM
is installed in DDR3_1 or DDR3_3. Follow the table above for recom-
mended memory configuration.
1. For best performance and compatibility, we recommend that users give
priority to the yellow DIMMs (DDR3_2/DDR3_4) when installing DIMMs.
2. We suggest users not mix memory type. It is recommended to use the
same brand and type memory on this motherboard.
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.
