MS-7522 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.

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 Three/ 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
DIMM_A0 first.
Due to the ch±pset resource deployment, the system dens±ty w±ll only be detected up
to 23+GB (not full 24GB) when each DIMM ±s ±nstalled w±th a 4GB memory module.
When you ±nstall ±ncorrect memory module (the SA2-p±n of the memory module con-
nects to
Ground) ±n the
DIMM_C0/C1, the LED bes±de DIMM_C0 w±ll l±ght
red color
to rem±nd you. The pos±t±on of the LED ±s shown as below. Double confirm w±th your
memory module vender for the th±rd channelsupports.
