2-2 Install the Memory

Dual Channel Memory Configuration

This motherboard provides four DDR2 memory sockets and supports Dual Channel 
Technology. When memory is installed, the BIOS will automatically check the memory 
in your system. 

Four DDR2 memory sockets are divided into two channels and each channel has two 
memory sockets as following:

Channel 0 : DIMM1, DIMM2
Channel 1 : DIMM3, DIMM4

The combinations of DIMM modules are :

DIMM1

DIMM2

DIMM3

DIMM4

Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the memory :

■ 

Make sure that the motherboard supports the memory. It is recommended that 

memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.

■ 

Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before 

installing the memory to prevent hardware damage.

■ 

Memory modules have a foolproof design. A memory module can be installed in only 

one direction. If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.
