Memory modules have a foolproof design a memory module can be installed in only one direction if you are unable to insert the memory switch the direction 17
Note when installing the memory make sure to begin with the first socket of each channel such as ddr4_2_1a 17
Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the memory make sure that the motherboard supports the memory it is recommended that memory of the same capacity brand speed and chips be used go to gigabyte s website for the latest supported memory speeds and memory modules 17
Refer to the table below for memory installation according to the number of the memory modules you want to install 17
This motherboard supports 4 channel technology after the memory is installed the bios will automatically detect the specifications and capacity of the memory the eight ddr4 memory sockets are divided into four channels and each channel has two memory sockets as following 17

The 12v power connector mainly supplies power to the cpu if the 12v power connector is not connected the 12v power connector mainly supplies power to the cpu if the 12v power connector is not connected the computer will not start 26
To meet expansion requirements it is recommended that a power supply that can withstand high powerconsumptionbeused 500worgreater ifapowersupplyisusedthatdoesnotprovidethe required power the result can lead to an unstable or unbootable system 26
With the use of the power connector the power supply can supply enough stable power to all the components onthemotherboard beforeconnectingthepowerconnector firstmakesurethepowersupplyisturned off and all devices are properly installed the power connector possesses a foolproof design connect the power supply cable to the power connector in the correct orientation 26
