Hardware Setup
Memory
The mainboard provides 4 slots for 240-pin DDR2 DIMM, which supports the
memory size up to 2GB.
Since DDR2 modules are not interchangeable with DDR1 and the DDR2 stand-
ard is not backward compatible, you should always install DDR2 memory module in
the DDR2 slot (DIMM1~DIMM4). Otherwise, you are not able to boot up your system
and your mainboard might be damaged.

DIMM1,2 and DIMM3,4
(from left (Green) to right(Orange))
Channel A (DIMM1 & DIMM2): Green
Channel B (DIMM3 & DIMM4): Orange
Memory Module Population Rules
Install at least one DIMM module on the slots. Each channel supports up to a
maximum size of 1GB and maximum 2 bank memory modules.
Important
1. Each DIMM can work respectively for single-channel DDR, while both
channels (in different color) populated with same amount of memory
size will work as dual-channel DDR.
2. The mainboard supports up to
2
double- side or
4
single-side memory
modules.
MSI Reminds You...
- Please select the identical memory modules to install on the dual
channel, and DO NOT install three memory modules on three
DIMMs, or it may cause some failure.
- Always insert the memory modules into the GREEN slots first, and
it is strongly recommended not to insert the memory modules into
the ORANGE slots while the GREEN slots are left empty.
- This mainboard DO NOT support the memory module installed
with more than 18 pieces of IC (integrated circuit).
