1. DualChannelmodecannotbeenabledifonlyonememorymoduleisinstalled.
2. WhenenablingDualChannelmodewithtwoorfourmemorymodules,itisrecommendedthatmemory
of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used and installed in the same colored sockets. For
optimumperformance,whenenablingDualChannelmodewithtwomemorymodules,werecommend
thatyouinstallthemintheDDR4_1andDDR4_2sockets.
