1-4 Installing the Memory
This motherboard provides two DDR3 memory sockets and supports Dual Channel Technology. After the memory
Channel memory mode will double the original memory bandwidth.
The two DDR3 memory sockets are divided into two channels and each channel has one memory socket as
following:
Channel A: DDR3_2
Channel B: DDR3_1
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.
• Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing the
memory to prevent hardware damage.

If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.
Due to APU limitations, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Dual Channel mode.
1. Dual Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one DDR3 memory module is installed.

the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used for optimum performance.
