Hardware Installation
DIMMs are on the same channel.
DIMMs in a channel can be identical or com-
pletely different. However, we highly recommend
using identical DIMMs.
Not all slots need to be populated.
DIMMs of the same memory configuration are
on different channels.
Single Channel
Dual Channel
The system board supports the following memory interface.
Single Channel (SC)
Data will be accessed in chunks of 64 bits (8B) from the memory channels.
Dual Channel (DC)
Data will be accessed in chunks of 128 bits from the memory channels. Dual
channel provides better system performance because it doubles the data transfer
rate.
Important:
1. You can populate either Channel A or Channel B first.
2. When installing a DIMM in Channel A or Channel B, always popu-
late the socket that is farthest the CPU. This will mean populating
DDR3-1 and/or DDR3-3 first.
3. If you intend to use dual channel, the same rule applies - always the
socket farthest the CPU. Populate DDR3-1 and/or DDR3-3 first; not
DDR3-1 and DDR3-4 and not DDR3-3 and DDR3-2.
