2.4System memory

2.4.1Overview

The motherboard comes with six Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets.

A DDR3 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR2 DIMM but is notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR2 DIMM socket. DDR3 modules are developed for better performance with less power consumption.

The figure illustrates the location of the DDR3 DIMM sockets:

2.4.2Memory Configurations

You may install 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB Registerd, or 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB Unbuffered with ECC/Non-ECC DDR3 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets using the memory configurations in this section.

*Support Low Voltage DIMMs; **Down from 1066 or 1333 MHz DIMM

Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum

compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor. DO NOT combine RDIMM and UDIMM.

The motherboard supports x8 DRAM Only and x4 & x16 DRAM are not supported
