▍ Hardware Setup Memory These DIMM slots are used for installing memory modules. For more information on compatible components, please visit http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=testreport DDR3 240-pin, 1.5V 72x2=144 pin 48x2=96 pin Dual-Channel mode Population Rule In Dual-Channel mode, the memory modules can transmit and receive data with two data bus lines simultaneously. Enabling Dual-Channel mode can enhance the system performance. The following illustrations explain the population rules for Dual-Channel mode. 1 DIMM1 DIMM2 DIMM3 DIMM4 2 DIMM1 DIMM2 DIMM3' DIMM4 Installed Empty Important • DDR3 memory modules are not interchangeable with DDR2 and the DDR3 standard is not backwards compatible. You should always install DDR3 memory modules in the DDR3 DIMM slots. • In Dual-Channel mode, make sure that you install memory modules of the same type and density in different channel DIMM slots. • To enable successful system boot-up, always insert the memory modules into the DIMM1 first. • Due to the chipset resource deployment, the system density will only be detected up to 15+GB (not full 16GB) when each DIMM is installed with a 4GB memory module. 2-6

Dual-Channel mode Populat±on Rule
In Dual-Channel mode, the memory modules can transm±t and rece±ve data w±th two
data bus l±nes s±multaneously. Enabl±ng Dual-Channel mode can enhance the system
performance. The follow±ng ±llustrat±ons expla±n the populat±on rules for Dual-Channel
mode.

Important
DDR3 memory modules are not ±nterchangeable w±th DDR2 and the DDR3 standard
±s not backwards compat±ble. You should always ±nstall DDR3 memory modules ±n
the DDR3 DIMM slots.
In Dual-Channel mode, make sure that you ±nstall memory modules of the
same type
and dens±ty ±n d±fferent channel DIMM slots.
To enable successful system boot-up, always ±nsert the memory modules ±nto the
DIMM1 first.
Due to the ch±pset resource deployment, the system dens±ty w±ll only be detected up
to 15+GB (not full 16GB) when each DIMM ±s ±nstalled w±th a 4GB memory module.
