Volt Notch Important - DDRII modules are not interchangeable with DDR and the DDRII standard is not backwards compatible. You should always install DDRII memory modules in the DDRII DIMMs and DDR memory modules in the DDR DIMMs. - In dual-channel mode, make sure that you install memory modules of the sam e ty pe and d ensi ty in different channel DDR DIMMs. - To enable successful system boot-up, always insert the memory modules into the DIM M1 first. - Due to the chipset resource deployment, the system density will only be detected up to 7+GB (not full 8GB) when each DIMM is installed with an 2GB memory module. 2-7

Important
You can barely see the golden finger if the memory module is properly inserted
in the socket.
Important
-
DDRII modules are not interchangeable with DDR and the DDRII standard is
not backwards compatible. You should always install DDRII memory mod-
ules in the DDRII DIMMs and DDR memory modules in the DDR DIMMs.
-
In dual-channel mode, make sure that you install memory modules of the
same type and density in differentchannel DDR DIMMs.
-
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 7+GB (not full 8GB) when each DIMM is installed with an 2GB
memory module.
