2-4 Installing the Memory Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the memory: •• Make sure that the motherboard supports the memory. It is recommended that memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used. (Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest supported memory speeds and memory modules.) •• Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing the memory to prevent hardware damage. •• Memory modules have a foolproof design. A memory module can be installed in only one direction. If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction. Dual Channel Memory Configuration This motherboard provides four memory sockets and supports Dual Channel Technology. After the memory is installed, the BIOS will automatically detect the specifications and capacity of the memory. Enabling Dual Channel memory mode will double the original memory bandwidth. The four memory sockets are divided into two channels and each channel has two memory sockets as following: Channel A: DDR5_A1, DDR5_A2 jk / DDR4_A1, DDR4_A2 lm Channel B: DDR5_B1, DDR5_B2 jk / DDR4_B1, DDR4_B2 lm * Recommended Dual Channel Memory Configuration: DDR5_A1jk DDR5_A2jk DDR5_B1jk DDR4_A1lm DDR4_A2lm DDR4_B1lm 2 Modules - - DS/SS - - 4 Modules DS/SS DS/SS (SS=Single-Sided, DS=Double-Sided, "- -"=No Memory) DS/SS DDR5_B2jk DDR4_B2lm DS/SS DS/SS Due to CPU limitations, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Dual Channel mode. 1.
