DSBF-DM Series Onboard Memory

For an even better performance, this motherboard also features six fully-buffered

DIMM (FB-DIMM) sockets to support 240-pin FB-DIMM modules. You can

purchase extra FB-DIMM modules based on your needs. An FB-DIMM module has

a different pin-out from DDR2 DIMMs so you cannot install DDR2 DIMMs on an

FB-DIMM socket. Note that an FB-DIMM socket has an Advanced Memory Buffer

(AMB) chip that allows memory-to-CPU connection at gigabit speed.
The figure illustrates the location of the FB-DIMM sockets:

Note that the orientation of DIMM_11 socket is different from the others. Be

careful when installing FB-DIMM to this socket.
