Installing Memory Modules
The M-342 supports up to 16 GB of DDR3 1066/1333 MHz
memory modules in four DIMM sockets. A DDR3 module has a
240-pin footprint compared to the legacy 184-pin DDR DIMM.
DDR3 modules are notched to facilitate correct installation in the
DIMM sockets and prevent installation of DDR2 or DDR modules.
Memory Configuration Options
The M-342 supports 1GB, 2GB and 4GB unbuffered non-ECC
DDR3 DIMMs in the following configurations:
X
Channel A: DIMM1
Channel B: DIMM2
X
For dual-channel configuration, the total size of memory
module installed per channel must be the same
(DIMM1 = DIMM2).
X
It is recommended that you install DIMMs with the same
CAS latency. For maximum compatibility, install memory
modules with the same brand, model, and/or rating.
To install a memory module:
1. Locate the DIMM sockets on the motherboard.
2. Press the socket’s retaining clips outward to unlock.
WARNING:
Disconnect all power to the board before installing a memory
module to prevent damaging the board and memory module .
