Installing System Memory (DIMMs)

Your new motherboard has four 240-pin slots for DDR3 memory. These slots

support 1GB, 2GB and 4GB DDR3 DIMMs. There must be at least one

memory slot populated to ensure normal operation. Use the following the

recommendations for installing memory.

One DIMM: If using 1 DIMM (Single Channel), install into: DIMM slot 2.



Two or Four DIMMs: If using 2 DIMMs (Dual Channel), install into:

DIMM slots 2 and 4. If using 4 DIMMs (Dual Channel), install into:

DIMM slots 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Use the following procedure to install DIMMs. Note that there is only one



gap near the center of the DIMM slot. This slot matches the slot on the

DIMM to ensure the component is installed properly.

Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the module clips outward.

Align the memory module to the DIMM slot, and insert the module vertically

into the DIMM slot. The plastic clips at both sides of the DIMM slot

automatically lock the DIMM into the connector.

The sequence of installing the motherboard into a system case depends on the

chassis you are using and if you are replacing an existing motherboard or

working with an empty system case. Determine if it would be easier to make all

the connections prior to this step or to secure the motherboard and then make

all the connections. It is normally easier to secure the motherboard first.
