Intel Desktop Board DZ68AF Product Guide NOTE The SATA Drive Mode must be set to RAID in the BIOS Setup in order for your system to use Intel Smart Response Technology. Once RAID is enabled, you can install the operating system and the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver. If the operating system was already installed with the SATA Drive Mode set to AHCI, you must reinstall the operating system with the SATA Drive Mode set to RAID. Refer to Section 4, "Configuring Intel Smart Response Technology and RAID Using Intel® RST", on page 67 for more information. For more information on Intel Smart Response Technology refer to http://download.intel.com/design/flash/nand/325554.pdf or download the Intel Smart Response Technology User Guide at http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/dz68db/sb/CS032499.htm?wapkw=(smart+response) Main Memory NOTE To be fully compliant with all applicable Intel ® SDRAM memory specifications, the board should be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure. If your memory modules do not support SPD, you will see a notification to this effect on the screen at power up. The BIOS will attempt to configure the memory controller for normal operation. The board has four DDR3 DIMM sockets arranged in two channels and supports the following memory features: • Two independent memory channels with interleaved mode support • Support for non-ECC, unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs with x8 organization and single-sided DIMMs with x16 organization • 32 GB maximum total system memory (with 4 Gb memory technology) • Minimum total system memory: 512 MB • Serial Presence Detect • DDR3 1333 MHz and DDR3 1066 MHz SDRAM DIMMs NOTE 32-bit operating systems are limited to a maximum of 4 GB of memory. These operating systems will report less than 4 GB because of the memory used by add-in graphics cards and other system resources. 16

NOTE
The SATA Drive Mode must be set to RAID in the BIOS Setup in order for your
system to use Intel Smart Response Technology.
Once RAID is enabled, you can
install the operating system and the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver.
If
the operating system was already installed with the SATA Drive Mode set to
AHCI, you must reinstall the operating system with the SATA Drive Mode set to
RAID.
Refer to Section 4, “Configuring Intel Smart Response Technology and
RAID Using Intel
®
RST”, on page 67 for more information.

Main Memory
NOTE
To be fully compliant with all applicable Intel
®
SDRAM memory specifications, the
board should be populated with DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD)
data structure.
If your memory modules do not support SPD, you will see a
notification to this effect on the screen at power up.
The BIOS will attempt to
configure the memory controller for normal operation.
The board has four DDR3 DIMM sockets arranged in two channels and supports the
following memory features:
•
Two independent memory channels with interleaved mode support
•
Support for non-ECC, unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs with x8
organization and single-sided DIMMs with x16 organization
•
32 GB maximum total system memory (with 4 Gb memory technology)
•
Minimum total system memory:
512 MB
•
Serial Presence Detect
•
DDR3 1333 MHz and DDR3 1066 MHz SDRAM DIMMs
NOTE
32-bit operating systems are limited to a maximum of 4 GB of memory.
These
operating systems will report less than 4 GB because of the memory used by
add-in graphics cards and other system resources.
