1-4 Installing the Memory
Readthefollowingguidelinesbeforeyoubegintoinstallthememory:
• Make sure that the motherboard supports the memory. It is recommended that memory of the same
capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.
(Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest supported memory speeds and memory modules.)
• Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing the
memory to prevent hardware damage.
• Memory modules have a foolproof design. A memory module can be installed in only one direction.
If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.
1-4-1 4ChannelMemoryConguration
ThismotherboardprovideseightDDR4memorysocketsandsupports4ChannelTechnology.Afterthememory
isinstalled,theBIOSwillautomaticallydetectthespecicationsandcapacityofthememory.TheeightDDR4
memory sockets are divided into four channels and each channel has two memory sockets as following:
ChannelA:DDR4_1_1A,DDR4_2_2A
ChannelB:DDR4_3_1B,DDR4_4_2B
ChannelC:DDR4_5_1C,DDR4_6_2C
ChannelD:DDR4_7_1D,DDR4_8_2D
DDR4_1_1A DDR4_3_1B DDR4_7_1D DDR4_5_1C DDR4_8_2D DDR4_6_2C DDR4_2_2A DDR4_4_2B

DDR4_3_1B,DDR4_5_1C,andDDR4_7_1D.
Note2:IfyouareusingaRegisteredDIMMmemory,makesureitisa1Rx8/2Rx8/1Rx4/2Rx4 one.
Note3:Toensurememorycompatibility,wedonotrecommendthatyouinstallRegisteredDIMMandUn-buffered
DIMM memory at the same time.
