2.6 Installing a DIMM The system motherboard comes with two Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) sockets (DIMM_A1 and DIMM_B1, Yellow) and two Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) DIMM sockets (DIMM_A2 and DIMM_B2, Black). The following figure illustrates the location of the sockets: P5Q18L P5Q18L 240-pin DDR2 DIMM sockets DIMM_A1 DIMM_A2 DIMM_B1 DIMM_B2 2.6.1 Memory configurations You may install up to 8 GB system memory using 512 MB, 1 GB, 2GB, and 4 GB DDR2 DIMMs or 1 GB, 2GB, and 4 GB DDR3 DIMMs. • This mother board supports either DDR2 or DDR3 DIMMs . Do NOT install both DDR2 and DDR3 DIMMs at the same time on this motherboard. • Installing DDR2/DDR3 DIMMS other than the recommended configurations may cause memory sizing error or system boot failure. Use any of the recommended configurations in the table on the next page. • Install only identical (the same type and size) DDR2 DIMMs in DIMM_A1 and DIMM_B1, and DDR3 DIMMs in DIMM_A2 and DIMM_B2. • Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor. • When installing total memory of 4GB or more, Windows 32-bit operation system may only recognize less than 3GB. Hence, a total installed memory of less than 3GB is recommended. • This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of 128 Mb chips or double-sided x16 memory modules. 2-8 Chapter 2: Basic installation
