MANO840 Mini ITX Motherboard Place this side towards the rear of the chassis. System Memory 3.2.1 Overview The motherboard comes with one 204-pin Double Data Rate 3 Low voltage (DDR3L) Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Modules (SO-DIMM) socket. A DDR3L module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR SO-DIMM but has a 204-pin footprint compared to the 204-pin DDR2 DIMM.
MANO840 Mini ITX Motherboard 3.2.2 Memory Configurations You may install 1GB, 2GB, 4GB and 8GB non-ECC DDR3L SO-DIMM into the SO-DIMM socket using the memory configurations in this section. If you installed over 4GB memory module, the system may detect less than 3GB of total memory because of address space allocation for other critical functions.
