2.3 System memory
2.3.1 Overview
The motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate 4 (DDR4) Dual Inline Memory Modules
(DIMM) sockets.
A DDR4 module is notched differently from a DDR, DDR2, or DDR3 module. DO NOT
install a DDR, DDR2, or DDR3 memory module to the DDR4 slot.
The gure illustrates the location of the DDR4 DIMM sockets:
2.3.2 Memory configurations
You may install Unbuffered DDR4 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets using the memory
congurations in this section.

2 1 ECC / non-ECC 2666/2400 Single Rank, Dual Rank
2 2 ECC / non-ECC 2666/2400 Single Rank, Dual Rank
• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, it is
recommended that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor.
• Start installing the DIMMs in slots A2 and B2 (Blue).
