2.3 Installation of Memory Modules (SO-DIMM)
This motherboard provides two 260-pin DDR4 (Double Data Rate 4) SO-DIMM
slots.
1. It is not allowed to install a DDR, DDR2 or DDR3 memory module into
a DDR4 slot; otherwise, this motherboard and SO-DIMM may be
damaged.
2. Please make sure to disconnect the power supply before adding or
removing SO-DIMMs or the system components.
3. The SO-DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause
permanent damage to the motherboard and the SO-DIMM if you force
the SO-DIMM into the slot at incorrect orientation.
Installing a SO-DIMM
Step 1. Align a SO-DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the SO-DIMM
matches the break on the slot.
Step 2. Firmly insert the SO-DIMM into the slot until the retaining clips at both
ends fully snap back in place and the SO-DIMM is properly seated.
