Question: What type of memory does my motherboard support?
Answer:

LRDIMM), 3DS Registered DIMM (3DS RDIMM), or up to 1TB of Load Registered DIMM
(LRDIMM), with speeds of 2933*/2666/2400/2133/1866/1600/1333 MHz modules in eight
memory slots. See
for details on Memory Support and Installation.
Notes:
1.
Support for 2933MHz memory is dependent on the CPU SKU.
2.
The memory
capacity support will differ according to the processor SKUs.
Question: Why can't I turn off the power using the momentary power on/off switch?
Answer:
The instant power off function is controlled in BIOS by the Power Button Mode
setting. When the On/Off feature is enabled, the motherboard will have instant off capabilities
as long as the BIOS has control of the system. When the Standby or Suspend feature is
enabled or when the BIOS is not in control such as during memory count (the first screen
that appears when the system is turned on), the momentary on/off switch must be held for
more than four seconds to shut down the system. This feature is required to implement the
ACPI features on the motherboard.
Question: How do I update my BIOS?
Answer:
It is recommended that you do not upgrade your BIOS if you are not experiencing
any problems with your system. Updated BIOS files are located on our website at
