NOTES:

[1]Not used in USDT form factor.

[2]Com1 supported only on SFF and CMT form factors. COM2 requires external bracket/cable assembly.

[3]Supported only on SFF and CMT form factors, requires external bracket/cable assembly.

2.3.4System Memory

These systems implement a dual-channel Double Data Rate (DDR3) memory architecture. All models support DDR3 1333-, 1066, and 800-MHz memory modules. The USDT system provides two SODIMM sockets supporting up to eight gigabytes of memory while the SFF and CMT form factors provide four UDIMM sockets and support a total of 16 gigabytes of memory.

1333-MHz memory modules are clocked down to 1066 megahertz

SODIMM and DIMM components are NOT interchangeable.
