2.3 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM) This motherboard provides four 288-pin DDR4 (Double Data Rate 4) DIMM slots, and supports Quad Channel Memory Technology. 1. For quad channel configuration, you always need to install identical (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type) DDR4 DIMM pairs. 2. It is not allowed to install a DDR, DDR2 or DDR3 memory module into a DDR4 slot; otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged. 3. The DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent damage to the motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the slot at incorrect orientation. Quad Channel Memory Configuration DDR4_B1 DDR4_A1 DDR4_C1 DDR4_D1 Populated Populated Populated Populated • If only two memory modules are installed in the DDR4 DIMM slots, then Dual Channel Memory Technology is activated. If three memory modules are installed, then Triple Channel Memory Technology is activated. English 16

If only two memory modules are installed in the DDR4 DIMM slots, then Dual
Channel Memory ³echnology is activated. If three memory modules are installed, then
³riple Channel Memory ³echnology is activated.
1. For quad channel con³guration, you always need to install identical (the same
brand, speed, size and chip-type) DDR4 DIMM pairs.
2. It is not allowed to install a DDR, DDR2 or DDR3 memory module into a DDR4
slot; otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.
3. Te DIMM only ³ts in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent damage to
the motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the slot at incorrect
orientation.
