1.7 System memory 1.7.1 Overview The motherboard comes with four 184-pin Double Data Rate (DDR) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets. The following figure illustrates the location of the sockets: A8N-VM DIMM_A2 DIMM_A1 DIMM_B2 DIMM_B1 ® A8N-VM 184-pin DDR DIMM sockets Channel Channel 1 Channel 2 Sockets DIMM_A1 and DIMM_B1 DIMM_A2 and DIMM_B2 1.7.2 Memory configurations You may install 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1 GB unbuffered ECC/ non-ECC DDR DIMMs into the DIMM sockets using the memory configurations in this section. • Installing DDR DIMMs other than the recommended configurations may cause memory sizing error or system boot failure. Use any of the recommended configurations on the next page. • Install only identical (the same type and size) DDR DIMM pairs for each channel. • Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor. • Due to chipset limitation, this motherboard does not support DIMM modules with less than or equal to 128 Mb memory chips. • If you are installing only one DIMM module for a Single-channel configuration, install the module on DIMM_A1 (blue slot). 1-10 Chapter 1: Product introduction

You may install 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1 GB unbuffered ECC/
non-ECC DDR DIMMs into the DIMM sockets using the memory configurations
in this section.
•
Installing DDR DIMMs other than the recommended configurations
may cause memory sizing error or system boot failure. Use any of
the recommended configurations on the next page.
•
Install only identical (the same type and size) DDR DIMM pairs for
each channel.
•
Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum
compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules
from the same vendor.
•
Due to chipset limitation, this motherboard does not support DIMM
modules with less than or equal to 128 Mb memory chips.
•
If you are installing only one DIMM module for a Single-channel
configuration, install the module on DIMM_A1 (blue slot).
