1.7.2 Memory configurations
You may install 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB unbuffered ECC/non-ECC
DDR2 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.
• For dual-channel configuration, the total size of memory module(s) installed
per channel must be the same (DIMM_A1+ DIMM_B1 = DIMM_A2+
DIMM_B2)
• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum
compatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory modules from the
same vendor. Refer to the DDR2 Qualified Vendors List below for details.
• Due to chipset resource allocation, the system may detect less than 8 GB
system memory when you installed four 2 GB DDR2 memory modules.
Recommended memory configurations
* Use only identical DDR2 DIMM pairs.
** For dual-channel configuration (2), you may:
• install identical DIMMs in all four sockets
OR
• install identical DIMM pair in DIMM_A1 and DIMM_B1 (yellow sockets) and another
identical DIMM pair in DIMM_A2 and DIMM_B2 (black sockets)
