Due to CPU limitations, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Dual Channel mode.

1. Dual Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one memory module is installed.

2. When enabling Dual Channel mode with two or four memory modules, it is recommended that memory

of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used and installed in the same colored sockets.

The four memory sockets are divided into two channels and each channel has two memory sockets as following:

ChannelA:DDR4_2,DDR4_4

ChannelB:DDR4_1,DDR4_3

C-1. To Enable CrossFire Function

After installing the graphics card driver in the operating system, go to the AMD Catalyst Control Center. Browse

to Performance\AMD CrossFireX™ and ensure the Enable AMD CrossFireX check box is selected. If your

system has more than two CrossFire cards, select the GPU combination you want to use and click Apply.
