The two memory sockets are divided into two channels and each channel has one memory socket as following:
Channel A: DDR4_A1
Channel B: DDR4_B1
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.
