System memory

1.7.1 Overview

The motherboard comes with two 184-pin Double Data Rate (DDR) Dual

Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets.
The following figure illustrates the location of the sockets:

• For dual-channel configuration, the size of memory module installed

per channel must be the same (DIMM_A1= DIMM_B1)

• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum

compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules

from the same vendor. See the Qualified Vendors List (QVL) on the

next page.

• If you are installing only one DIMM module for a Single-channel

configuration, install the module on DIMM_B1.

1.7.2 Memory configurations

You may install 64MB, 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, 2 GB unbuffered ECC or

non-ECC DDR DIMMs into the DIMM sockets using the memory configuration

in this section.
