How to enable Dual-Channel DDRII:
1.
This mainboard provides Dual-Channel functionality for the four DIMM sockets. Enabling
Dual-Channel will significantly increase your data access rate than the before. DDR2_A1 and
DDR2_B1 share one channel, and DDR2_A2 and DDR2_B2 share another channel.
2.
To enable Dual-Channel, you need to install memories in different channels of DIMM sockets.
According to the definition by Intel, once one channel of the memory capacity is the same with the
other channel, the Dual-Channel will be enabled then.
For example, if you install one 256 MB memory in DDR2_A1 and another in DDR2_B1 (256MB x 2 =
512MB), you must install a total of 512 MB memory in DDR2_A2 or DDR2_B2, so that the
Dual-Channel can be enabled.
3.
If you only need to install one memory, it is recommended to install it in DDR2_A1 or DDR2_B1.
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.
Attention
It is recommended that to install memories which are identical specifications
(same timing specifications and same DDR II speed) to achieve the best
effects. It may cause the failure of power-on or lower memory speed if
installing different type, SPD (series presence detects) memories.
