Hardware Setup
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 Three/ 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
DIMM_A0
first.
-
Due to the chipset resource deployment, the system density will only be
detected up to 23+GB (not full 24GB) when each DIMM is installed with a 4GB
memory module.
-
When you install incorrect memory module (the SA2-pin of the memory
module connects to
Ground
) in the
DIMM_C0/C1
, the LED beside DIMM_C0
will light
red
color to remind you. The position of the LED is shown as below.
Double confirm with your memory module vender for the third channelsupports.
