2.4 System memory 2.4.1 Overview The motherboard comes with sixteen fully-buffered DIMM (FB-DIMM) sockets to support 240-pin FB-DIMM modules. An FB-DIMM module has a different pin-out from DDR2 DIMMs so you cannot install DDR2 DIMMs on an FB-DIMM socket. Note that an FB-DIMM socket has an Advanced Memory Buffer (AMB) chip that allows memory-to-CPU connection at gigabit speed. The figure illustrates the location of the FB-DIMM sockets: ® DSEB-D16 Series 240-pin FB-DIMM sockets 128 Pins 112 Pins FB-DIMM_13 FB-DIMM_12 FB-DIMM_11 FB-DIMM_10 FB-DIMM_03 FB-DIMM_02 FB-DIMM_01 FB-DIMM_00 FB-DIMM_20 FB-DIMM_21 FB-DIMM_22 FB-DIMM_23 FB-DIMM_30 FB-DIMM_31 FB-DIMM_32 FB-DIMM_33 2.4.2 Memory configurations You may install 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB, and 8 GB registered ECC FB‑DIMMs into the DIMM sockets. • For optimum compatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor. Refer to the Qualified Vendors List on the ASUS web site. • The FB-DIMM 800 MHz has to work with the 1600MHz FSB CPU or above; otherwise the memory module downgrades and runs at the speed of 667MHz. • If you are installing only one memory module, install into the white socket labeled DIMM_00. Installing into any other socket will not work. 2-16 Chapter 2: Hardware information
