2.3 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM) This motherboard provides four 240-pin DDRII (Double Data Rate II) DIMM slots, and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. For dual channel configuration, you always need to install identical (the same brand, speed, size and chip-type) DDRII DIMM pair in the slots of the same color. In other words, you have to install identical DDRII DIMM pair in Dual Channel A (DDRII_1 and DDRII_2; Yellow slots; see p.2 No.7) or identical DDRII DIMM pair in Dual Channel B (DDRII_3 and DDRII_4; Orange slots; see p.2 No.8), so that Dual Channel Memory Technology can be activated. This motherboard also allows you to install four DDRII DIMMs for dual channel configuration, and please install identical DDRII DIMMs in all four slots. You may refer to the Dual Channel Memory Configuration Table below.

This motherboard provides four 240-pin DDRII (Double Data Rate II) DIMM slots, and
supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. For dual channel configuration, you
always need to install
identical
(the same brand, speed, size and chip-type) DDRII
DIMM pair in the slots of the same color. In other words, you have to install
identi-
cal
DDRII DIMM pair in
Dual Channel A
(DDRII_1 and DDRII_2; Yellow slots; see
p.2 No.7) or
identical
DDRII DIMM pair in

(DDRII_3 and DDRII_4;
Orange slots; see p.2 No.8), so that Dual Channel Memory Technology can be
activated. This motherboard also allows you to install four DDRII DIMMs for dual
channel configuration, and please install
identical
DDRII DIMMs in all four slots.
You may refer to the Dual Channel Memory Configuration Table below.

1.
If you want to install two memory modules, for optimal compatibil-
ity and reliability, it is recommended to install them in the slots of
the same color. In other words, install them either in the set of
yellow slots (DDRII_1 and DDRII_2), or in the set of orange slots
(DDRII_3 and DDRII_4).
2.
If only one memory module or three memory modules are in-
stalled in the DDRII DIMM slots on this motherboard, it is unable to
activate the Dual Channel Memory Technology.
3.
If a pair of memory modules is NOT installed in the same Dual
Channel, for example, installing a pair of memory modules in
DDRII_1 and DDRII_3, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel
Memory Technology .
4.
It is not allowed to install a DDR memory module into DDRII slot;
otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.
