Overview

The motherboard features eight fully-buffered DIMM (FB-DIMM) sockets to support

240-pin FB-DIMM modules. You can purchase extra FB-DIMM modules based on

your needs. An FB-DIMM module has a different pin-out from DDR2 DIMMs so

you cannot install DDR2 DIMMs on an FB-DIMM socket. Note that an FB-DIMM

socket has an Advanced Memory Buffer (AMB) chip that allows memory-to-CPU

connection at gigabit speed.

The figure illustrates the location of the FB-DIMM sockets:
