The two memory sockets are divided into two channels and each channel has one memory socket as following:
Channel A: DDR4_1
Channel B: DDR4_2
Due to CPU limitations, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Dual Channel mode.
1. Dual Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one memory module is installed.
2. When enabling Dual Channel mode with two memory modules, it is recommended that memory of
the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.
1-5 Installing an Expansion Card
Read the following guidelines before you begin to install an expansion card:
•
Make sure the motherboard supports the expansion card. Carefully read the manual that came
with your expansion card.
•
Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing an
expansion card to prevent hardware damage.

When removing the cable connected to a back panel connector, first remove the cable from your
device and then remove it from the motherboard.
•
When removing the cable, pull it straight out from the connector. Do not rock it side to side to
prevent an electrical short inside the cable connector.
