When enabling Dual Channel mode with two or four memory modules, it is recommended that memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used and installed in the same colored sockets. For optimum performance, when enabling Dual Channel mode with two memory modules, we recommend that you install them in the DDR4_1 and DDR4_2 sockets. 1-5 Installing an Expansion Card Read the following guidelines before you begin to install an expansion card: •• Make sure the motherboard supports the expansion card.

Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing an
expansion card to prevent hardware damage.
PS/2 Keyboard and PS/2 Mouse Port
Use the upper port (green) to connect a PS/2 mouse and the lower port (purple) to connect a PS/2 keyboard.
D-Sub Port
The D-Sub port supports a 15-pin D-Sub connector and supports a maximum resolution of 1920x1200@60 Hz
(the actual resolutions supported depend on the monitor being used). Connect a monitor that supports D-Sub
connection to this port.
DVI-D Port
(Note)
The DVI-D port conforms to the DVI-D specification and supports a maximum resolution of 1920x1200@60 Hz
(the actual resolutions supported depend on the monitor being used). Connect a monitor that supports

Due to CPU limitations, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Dual Channel mode.
1.
Dual Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one memory module is installed.
2.
When enabling Dual Channel mode with two or four memory modules, it is recommended that memory
of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used and installed in the same colored sockets. For
optimum performance, when enabling Dual Channel mode with two memory modules, we recommend
that you install them in the DDR4_1 and DDR4_2 sockets.
After installing the HDMI device, make sure to set the default sound playback device to HDMI.

To set up a triple-display configuration, you must install motherboard drivers in the operating
system first.
(Note)
The DVI-D port does not support D-Sub connection by adapter.
