2-4 Install Memory
This motherboard provides four 240-pin DDR III DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULES (DIMM) socket
for DDR III memory expansion available to maximum memory volume of 16GB DDRIII SDRAM.
Valid Memory Configurations
Bank 240-Pin DIMM PCS Maximum Capacity
DIMM1 DDRIII 1066/ DDRIII 1333 X1 4GB
DIMM2 DDRIII 1066/ DDRIII 1333 X1 4GB
DIMM3 DDRIII 1066/ DDRIII 1333 X1 4GB
DIMM4 DDRIII 1066/ DDRIII 1333 X1 4GB
Total System Memory (Max.4GB) 4 16GB
Recommend DIMM Module Combination
:
1.
One DDRIII Memory Module ----Plug in DIMMM1.
2.
Two DDRIII Memory Modules---Plug in DIMM1 & DIMM 3 for Dual channel function
3.
Four DDRIII Memory Modules---Plug in DIMM1 & DIMM 2 & DIMM3 & DIMM4
Dual channel Limited!
1. Dual channel function only supports when 2 DIMM Modules plug in either both DIMM1 &
DIMM3, or four DIMM Modules plug in DIMM1~DIMM4.
2. Memory modules plugged in the same color DIMM must be of the same type, same size, and
same frequency for dual channel function.
Install DDRIII modules to your motherboard is not difficult, you can refer to figure below to see how
to install DDRIII 1066/ 1333 SDRAM module.

Installation Tips:
Open the two plastic clips of memory slots then push down the module vertically into the slot.
See to it that the hole of the module fit into the notch of the slot.
The two plastic clips will automatically close if the memory module is fitted in a proper way.
We suggest that priority given to DIMM1 and DIMM3 in multi-DIMM installation. System won’t
start when you only install memory DIMM in DIMM2 and DIMM4.
