2.5 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)
his motherboard provides four 240-pin DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3) DIMM slots, and
supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. For dual channel coniguration, you always
need to install two identical (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type) memory modules
in the DDR3 DIMM slots to activate Dual Channel Memory Technology. Otherwise, it will
operate at single channel mode.
1. It is not allowed to install a DDR or DDR2 memory module into a DDR3 slot; otherwise,
this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.
2. If you install only one memory module or two non identical memory modules, it is un-
able to activate Dual Channel Memory Technology.
3. Some DDR3 1GB double-sided DIMMs with 16 chips may not work on this motherboard.
It is not recommended to install them on this motherboard.
If you want to install one memory module, you can install it in any one of the DIMM slots.
If you want to install two or four memory modules, please refer to the table below for
