Features
•
Two 260-pin SODIMM up to 32GB
•
Dual Channel DDR4 1866/2133MHz
The system board supports the following memory interface.
Single Channel (SC)
Data will be accessed in chunks of 64 bits 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.
Single Channel
DIMMs are on the same channel. DIMMs in a channel can be identi-
cal or completely different. However, we highly recommend using
identical DIMMs. Not all slots need to be populated.
Dual Channel
DIMMs of the same memory configuration are on different channels.
BIOS Setting
Enable or disable ECC in the “Advanced” menu of the BIOS. Refer to Chapter 3 for more infor-
mation.
