Dual-Channel mode Population Rule

In Dual-Channel mode, the memory modules can transmit and receive data with two

data bus channels simultaneously. Enabling Dual-Channel mode can enhance system

performance. The following illustrations explain the population rules for Dual-Channel

mode.

Important

DDR3 memory modules are not interchangeable with DDR2, and the DDR3

standard is not backward compatible. Always install DDR3 memory modules in

DDR3 DIMM slots.

To ensure system stability, memory modules must be of the same type and density

in Dual-Channel mode.

Due to chipset resource usage, the system will only detect up to 31+ GB of memory

(not full 32 GB) when all DIMM slots have 8GB memory modules installed.
