System memory

1.7.1 

Overview

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:

DIMM_A1 and DIMM_A2

Channel B

DIMM_B1 and DIMM_B2

4. 

Carefully remove the heatsink and fan 

assembly from the motherboard.

5. 

Rotate each fastener clockwise to ensure 

correct orientation when reinstalling.
