2.4 System memory
2.4.1 Overview
The motherboard comes with twelve (12) Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) Dual Inline
Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets.
A DDR3 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR2 DIMM but is
notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR2 DIMM socket. DDR3 modules
are developed for better performance with less power consumption.
The figure illustrates the location of the DDR3 DIMM sockets:
2.4.2 Memory Configurations
You may install 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB,or 8 GB Registerd or Unbuffered with ECC/Non-
ECC DDR3 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets using the memory configurations in this
section.
Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, it
is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor.
