EMX-A55E
2.3.2
System Memory
The motherboard comes with one 204-pin Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) SODIMM sockets.
A DDR3 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR DIMM but has a 204-pin
footprint. DDR3 DIMMs are notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR DIMM
socket. The following figure illustrates the location of the sockets:
2.3.2.1 Memory Configurations
You can install 1GB, 2GB and 4GB DDR3 DIMMs into the SODIMM sockets using the
memory configurations in this section.
22 EMX-A55E User‟s Manual
Installing DDR3 DIMM other than the recommended
configurations may cause memory sizing error or system boot
failure. Use any of the recommended configurations.
Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum
compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules
from the same vendor.
This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of
128 Mb chips or double-sided x16 memory modules.
Make sure that the memory frequency matches the CPU FSB
(Front Side Bus). Refer to the Memory frequency/CPU FSB
synchronization table.
