How to Enable Dual-Channel functionality:
1. This mainboard provides Dual-Channel functionality for the two DIMM sockets. Enabling
Dual-Channel can significantly increase your data access rates. DIMMA1 and DIMMB1
share one channel.
2. For enabling Dual-Channel, you have to install two memories in the DIMM sockets at the
same time; according to the definition by Intel, once one channel of the memory capacity
is the same with the other channel, then Dual-Channel will be enabled.
3.
For example,
if you install one 256 MB memory in DIMMA1 and the other one in DIMMB1
(256MB x 2 = 512MB), so that the Dual-Channel can be enabled.
4. If you only need to install one memory, then the Dual-Channel won’t be enabled.
Memory Installation Steps:
1. Pull the white plastic tabs at both ends of the slot away from the slot.
2. Match the notch on the RAM module with the corresponding pattern in the DIMM slot. This
will ensure that the module will be inserted with the proper orientation.
3. Lower the RAM module into the DIMM Slot and press firmly using both thumbs until the
module snaps into place.
