2.5 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)

This motherboard provides two 240-pin DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3) DIMM

slots, and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. For dual channel

configuration, 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 unable 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.

Installing a DIMM

Please make sure to disconnect the power supply before add-

ing or removing DIMMs or system components.

Step 1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward.

Step 2. Align a DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the DIMM

matches the break on the slot.
