▍ Hardware Setup Memory These DIMM slots are used for installing memory modules. For more information on compatible components, please visit http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=testreport DDR2 240-pin, 1.8V 64x2=128 pin 56x2=112 pin Dual-Channel mode Population Rule In Dual-Channel mode, the memory modules can transmit and receive data with two data bus lines simultaneously. Enabling Dual-Channel mode can enhance the system performance. The following illustrations explain the population rules for Dual-Channel mode. 1 DIMM1 DIMM2 Installed Empty Important • DDR2 memory modules are not interchangeable with DDR and the DDR2 standard is not backwards compatible. You should always install DDR2 memory modules in the DDR2 DIMM slots. • In Dual-Channel mode, make sure that you install memory modules of the same type and density in different channel DIMM slots. • To enable successful system boot-up, always insert the memory modules into the DIMM1 first. 2-6

Dual-Channel mode Populat±on Rule
In Dual-Channel mode, the memory modules can transm±t and rece±ve data w±th two
data bus l±nes s±multaneously. Enabl±ng Dual-Channel mode can enhance the system
performance. The follow±ng ±llustrat±ons expla±n the populat±on rules for Dual-Channel
mode.

Important
DDR2 memory modules are not ±nterchangeable w±th DDR and the DDR2 standard
±s not backwards compat±ble. You should always ±nstall DDR2 memory modules ±n
the DDR2 DIMM slots.
In Dual-Channel mode, make sure that you ±nstall memory modules of the
same type
and dens±ty ±n d±fferent channel DIMM slots.
To enable successful system boot-up, always ±nsert the memory modules ±nto the
DIMM1 first.
