Memory Populaton Rules
Please refer to the followng llustratons for memory populaton rules.

When you have only one memory module, please always nsert t nto the DIMM_A0
first (as way 1 shown n below).

Dual-Channel mode
In Dual-Channel mode, the memory modules can transmt and receve data wth two
data bus lnes smultaneously. Enablng Dual-Channel mode can enhance the system
performance. When you have two memory modules, please always nsert them nto
the DIMM_A0 & DIMM_B0 (as way 2 shown n below).

Trple-Channel mode
In Trple-Channel mode, the memory modules can transmt and receve data wth
three data bus lnes smultaneously. Enablng Three-Channel mode can enhance the
best system performance. When you have three or more memory modules, please
always nsert them as the way 3/ 4/ 5/ 6 (shown n below) to get the best system
performance.

Important
DDR3 memory modules are not nterchangeable wth DDR2 and the DDR3 standard 
s  not  backwards  compatble.  You  should  always  nstall  DDR3  memory  modules n 
the DDR3 DIMM slots.
In  Three/  Dual-Channel  mode,  make  sure  that  you  nstall  memory  modules  of 
the same type and densty n dfferent channel DIMM slots.
To  enable  successful  system  boot-up,  always  nsert  the  memory  modules nto  the 
DIMM_A0 first.
Due to the chpset resource deployment, the system densty wll only be detected up  to 23+GB (not full 24GB) when each DIMM s nstalled wth a 4GB memory module.
When you  nstall ncorrect memory module (the SA2-pn of the memory module con
-nects  to Ground ) n  the DIMM_C0/C1 ,  the  LED  besde  DIMM_C0  wll  lght red  color 
to remnd you. The poston of the LED  s shown as below. Double confirm wth your 
memory module vender for the thrd channelsupports.

Installng Memory Modules
The  memory  module  has  only  one  notch  on  the  center  and  wll  only  fit n  the  rght 
orentaton.
Insert  the  memory  module  vertcally  nto  the  DIMM  slot.  Then  push t n  untl  the 
golden finger on the memory module  s deeply nserted n the DIMM slot. The plastc 
clp at each sde of the DIMM slot wll automatcally close when the memory module 
s properly seated.
Manually check  f the memory module has been locked  n place by the DIMM slot 
clps at the sdes.
Important
You can barely see the golden finger  f the memory module s properly nserted n the DIMM slot.
