ASUS P9D-MH Series 2-15
2.4 System memory
2.4.1 Overview
The motherboard comes with four 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 2 GB, 4 GB, and 8 GB Unbuffered with ECC DDR3 DIMMs into the DIMM

• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, it is
recommended that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor.
• Start installing the DIMMs in slots A2 and B2 (Blue).
