System memory
This motherboard comes with two Double Data Rate 4 (DDR4) Small Outline Dual
Inline Memory Module (SO-DIMM) sockets. The figure below illustrates the location
of the DDR4 SO-DIMM sockets:
Channel
Sockets
Channel A
SO-DIMM_A1
Channel B
SO-DIMM_B1
DIMM_A1
DIMM_B1
IMPORTANT!
• You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. The
system maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel
configuration. Any excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then
mapped for single-channel operation.
• Always install the DIMMS with the same CAS Latency. For an optimum
compatibility, we recommend that you install memory modules of the same
version or data code (D/C) from the same vendor. Check with the vendor to
get the correct memory modules.
• According to Intel
®
CPU spec, DIMM voltage below 1.35V is recommended
to protect the CPU.
