System Memory
The board has two 204-pin SO-DIMM sockets and supports the following memory
features:
1.5V DDR3-800 and DDR3-1066 SO-DIMMs with gold-plated contacts
Unbuffered, non-ECC, Raw Card B (1Rx8) and Raw Card-F (2Rx8) SO-DIMMs only
Single-sided or double-sided modules
4 GB maximum total system memory
Serial Presence Detect
DDR3 800 MHz and DDR3 1066 MHz SO-DIMMs (Higher speed SO-DIMMs
supported at 1066 MHz if supported by the memory module.)
When only using one SO-DIMM, DIMM 1 must be used
NOTE
Due to passively-cooled thermal constraints, system memory must have an operating
temperature rating of 85
o
C.
The board is designed to be passively cooled in a properly ventilated chassis. Chassis
venting locations are recommended above the system memory area for maximum heat
dissipation effectiveness.
NOTE
To be fully compliant with all applicable DDR3 SDRAM memory specifications, the
board should be populated with SO-DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect
(SPD) data structure. This allows the BIOS to read the SPD data and program the
chipset to accurately configure memory settings for optimum performance. If non-SPD
memory is installed, the BIOS will attempt to correctly configure the memory settings,
but performance and reliability may be impacted or the SO-DIMMs may not function
under the determined frequency.
