SO-DIMM Sockets Location

The motherboard comes with two 204-pin Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) SO-DIMM sockets.
A DDR3 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR2 SO-DIMM but has a
204-pin footprint compared to the 200-pin DDR2 DIMM. DDR3 SO-DIMMs are notched
differently to prevent installation on a DDR2 SO-DIMM socket. The following figure
illustrates the location of the sockets:

Memory Configurations

You can install 1GB, 2GB and 4GB DDR3 SDRAM SO-DIMMs into the SO-DIMM sockets
using the memory configurations in this section.


Installing DDR3 SO-DIMM other than the recommended
configurations may cause memory sizing error or system boot
failure. Use any of the recommended configurations.

Always install SO-DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For
optimum compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory
modules from the same vendor.

Due to chipset resource allocation, the system may detect less
than 1 GB system memory when you installed one 1 GB DDR3
memory modules.
