System Memory

Standby 

Power LED

The system board is equipped with one or two 204-pin SODIMM sockets that support DDR3L 

memory modules depending on the CPU processor supported. 

• Two 204-pin DDR3L SODIMM sockets (-E45/-E27/-E26/-J00/-N30)

- up to 8GB system memory
- dual channel memory interface 
One 204-pin DDR3L SODIMM socket (-E25/-E15/-N07)
- up to 4GB system memory
- single channel memory interface

Important:

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your board, processor, disk drives, add-in 

boards, and other components. Perform installation procedures at an ESD workstation 

only. If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD protection by wear-

ing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part of the system chassis. If 

a wrist strap is unavailable, establish and maintain contact with the system chassis 

throughout any procedures requiring ESD protection. 

  

Important:

When the Standby Power LED lights red, it indicates that there is power on the board. 

Power-off the PC then unplug the power cord prior to installing any devices. Failure to 

do so will cause severe damage to the board and components.

Note:

When installing one DDR3L SODIMM only, make sure to install it on the socket (SO-

DIMM 1) that is located on the top side of the module.
