Intel Desktop Board DX79TO Product Guide Installing and Removing Memory Intel Desktop board DX79TO has eight 240-pin DDR3 DIMM sockets arranged in four channels (A, B, C, and D). See Figure 2 for the memory layout. For optimal memory performance: • Install DIMMs in numerical order (1-8). • For dual-, tri-, and quad-channel operation install matched DIMMs of equal speed and size in each channel. • If you are installing four or fewer DIMMs, use the blue sockets. Installing DIMMs NOTE Using a DIMM with a voltage rating higher than 1.65 V may damage the processor. To install a DIMM, follow these steps: 1. Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 31. 2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the computer. Turn off the computer and disconnect the AC power cord. 3. Remove the computer's cover and locate the DIMM sockets (see Figure 15). 40
