    EP2C612D16FM / EP2C612D16FM-N 2.4 Installing the CPU Fan and Heatsink Before you installed the heatsink, you need to spray thermal interface material between the CPU and the heatsink to improve heat dissipation.

  • Page 30: Installation Of Memory Modules (Dimm)

    2.5 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM) This motherboard provides sixteen 288-pin DDR4 (Double Data Rate 4) DIMM slots in two groups, and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. You may install 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16 GB and 32GB RDIMMs, ECC UDIMMs, and LR- DIMMs into the sockets.
  • Page 31 EP2C612D16FM / EP2C612D16FM-N The DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent damage to the motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the slot at incorrect orientation.

  • Page 32: Recommended Memory Configurations

    Recommended Memory Configurations A single memory module should be installed in the BLUE socket. If you install only one CPU (CPU1) on the motherboard, make sure to install DIMMs into DDR4_A, DDR4_B, DDR4_C, or DDR4_D slot(s). Memory can speed up to 2133 MHz for 1 DIMM per channel. For two DIMMs per channel, memory speed should be 1866MHz.
