2.3System memory
2.3.1Overview
The motherboard comes with four 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:
2.3.2Memory Configurations
You may install 2 GB, 4 GB, 8GB Unbuffered with ECC DDR3 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets using the memory configurations in this section.
UDIMM
DIMM Slot Per | DIMM Populated | DIMM Type | Speed | Rank per DIMM |
Channel | per Channel | |||
2 | 1 | Unbuffered DDR3 ECC | 1333/1600 | Single Rank, |
Dual Rank | ||||
2 | 2 | Unbuffered DDR3 ECC | 1333/1600 | Single Rank, |

•Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, it is
recommended that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor.
•Install the DDR to the A2 or B2 (blue slot) when installing only one memory module to the motherboard.
