Dual Channel Memory Configuration
This motherboard provides two DDR3 memory sockets and supports Dual Channel Technology. After the memory
is installed, the BIOS will automatically detect the specifications and capacity of the memory. Enabling Dual
Channel memory mode will double the original memory bandwidth.
The two DDR3 memory sockets are divided into two channels and each channel has one memory socket as
following:
Channel A: DDR3_1
Channel B: DDR3_2
Due to CPU limitations, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Dual Channel mode.
1.
Dual Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one DDR3 memory module is installed.
2.
When enabling Dual Channel mode with two memory modules, it is recommended that memory of
the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used for optimum performance.

1.
Fit the included antenna connectors through the antenna holes from the inside. Use one hand to hold
the antenna connectors in place and put a washer through an antenna connector and then slide it all
the way to the bottom of the connector.
2.
While using one hand to hold the antenna connectors in place, turn a securing nut all the way onto
the connector. Make sure it is tightened securely.
3.
Do the same for the other antenna connector.
4.
Align the IPEX antenna connector with the corresponding IPEX connector on the wireless module
and press it into the connector.
Do not mount the antenna connectors before you install the wireless module. Before installing the I/O
shield, be sure to mount the antenna connectors first.
