Chapter 1: Product introduction

System memory

Overview

This motherboard comes with two Double Data Rate 4 (DDR4) Dual Inline Memory Module

(DIMM) sockets. The gure illustrates the location of the DDR4 DIMM sockets:

• You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. The system

maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel conguration. Any

excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then mapped for single-channel

operation.

• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimal compatibility, we

recommend that you install memory modules of the same version or date code (D/C)

from the same vendor. Check with the retailer to get the correct memory modules.
