MSI Big Bang-XPower manual Installing Memory Modules

Page 25

MS-7666

To enable successful system boot-up, always insert the memory modules into the DIMM_1 (DIMM_A0 in PCB v1.0) first.

Due to the chipset resource deployment, the system density will only be detected up to 23+GB (not full 24GB) when each DIMM is installed with a 4GB memory module.

Installing Memory Modules

1.The memory module has only one notch on the center and will only fit in the right orientation.

2.Insert the memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it in until the golden finger on the memory module is deeply inserted in the DIMM slot. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close when the memory module is properly seated.

3.Manually check if the memory module has been locked in place by the DIMM slot clips at the sides.
