Important
• DDR4 memory modules are not interchangeable with DDR3, and the DDR4
standard is not backward compatible. Always install DDR4 memory modules in
DDR4 DIMM slots.
• Always insert memory modules in the DIMM1 slot 󰘰rst.
• Due to chipset resource usage, the system will only detect up to 127+ GB of
memory (not full 128 GB) when all DIMM slots have 16GB memory modules
installed.
