Hardware Installation
The three DDR DIMM sockets on the system board are divided into
2 channels:
1st channel - DDR 1 and DDR 2
2nd channel - DDR 3
The system board supports the following memory interface.
Single Channel (SC)
Data will be accessed in chunks of 64 bits (8B) from the memory
channels.
Dual Channel (DC)
Dual channel provides better system performance because it doubles
the data transfer rate.
BIOS Setting
Configure the system memory in the Genie BIOS Setting submenu
of the BIOS.
•
DIMMs are on the same channel.
•
DIMMs in a channel can be identical or
completely different. However, we highly
recommend using identical DIMMs.
•
Not all slots need to be populated.
•
DIMMs of the same memory configura-
tion are on different channels.
