memory modules, be sure to install them in the DDR3_P0_A0, DDR3_P0_B0 and DDR3_P0_C0 sockets for primary CPU; install DDR3_P1_D0, DDR3_P1_E0 DDR3_P1_F0 for secondary CPU. When enabling 3 Channel mode with four memory modules, be sure to install them in the DDR3_P0_A0, DDR3_P0_B0, DDR3_P0_C0, and and DDR3_P0_C1 sockets for primary CPU; install DDR3_P1_D0, DDR3_P1_E0, DDR3_P1_F0, and DDR3_P1_F1 for secondary CPU 1-4-2 Installing a Memory Before installing a memory module, make sure to turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet to prevent damage to the memory module. Be sure to install DDR3 DIMMs on this motherboard. Installation Step: Step 1. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot, and push it down. Step 2. Close the plastic clip at both edges of the DIMM slots to lock the DIMM module. Note: For dual-channel operation, DIMMs must be installed in matched pairs. Step 3. Reverse the installation steps when you wish to remove the DIMM module. 1 2 2 Hardware Installation - 20 -
