Installing the Motherboard
Installing Memory Modules
This motherboard accommodates two memory modules. It can support two 240-pin
DDR3 1866 with AM3+ CPU, or two 240-pin DDR3 1333/1066 with AM3 CPU.
The total memory capacity is 16 GB.
Do not remove any memory module from its antistatic packaging
until you are ready to install it on the motherboard. Handle the
modules only by their edges. Do not touch the components or metal
parts. Always wear a grounding strap when you handle the mod-
ules.
You must install at least one module in any of the two slots. Each module can be
installed with 8 GB of memory.
Installation Procedure
Refer to the following to install the memory modules.
1 This motherboard supports unbuffered DDR3 SDRAM only.
2 Push the latches on each side of the DIMM slot down.
3 Align the memory module with the slot. The DIMM slots are keyed with
notches and the DIMMs are keyed with cutouts so that they can only be
installed correctly.
4 Check that the cutouts on the DIMM module edge connector match the
notches in the DIMM slot.
5 Install the DIMM module into the slot and press it firmly down until it
seats correctly. The slot latches are levered upwards and latch on to
the edges of the DIMM.
6 Install any remaining DIMM modules.
