This Mainboard uses Registered DDR2 Memory with ECC or Non-ECC only. Please be aware of the difference between DDR and DDR2. DDR modules will NOT compatible with DDR2 slots. Don’t plug DDR modules into DN800-SATA/-L memory slots. IMPORTANT Before buying DDR2 (Double Data Rate 2) DIMMs for use with the Mainboard, it is recommended that you consult your local reseller for the best and most compatible memory to use.
Hardware installation Installing Expansion Cards DN800-SATA/DN800-L has the PCI-Express and PCI slots that can be used for any expansion cards, such as LAN, SCSI, or Riser cards. DN800-SATA/DN800-L provides two PCI-Express slots (one with x16 bandwidth; another with x8 bandwidth) for the high-end expansion card choices.
Page 44
Important: DN800-SATA/-L provides a PCI-Express x16 slot for graphic use. It provides the higher performance and greater bandwidth than the traditional AGP slot. DN800-SATA/-L does not support AGP slot, so please choose the graphic card with PCI-Express interface. IWILL DN800-SATA/-L Series...
