1-4-1 Four Channel Memory Conguration

This motherboard provides twenty-four DDR4 memory sockets and supports Four Channel Technology. After

thememoryisinstalled,theBIOSwillautomaticallydetectthespecicationsandcapacityofthememory.

Enabling Four Channel memory mode will be four times of the original memory bandwidth.

The four DDR4 memory sockets are divided into four channels each channel has two memory sockets as

following:

Channel 1: DIMM_P0_A0/DIMM_P0_A1/DIMM_P0_A2 (For pimary CPU)/

DIMM_P1_E0/DIMM_P1_E1/DIMM_P1_E2 (For secondary CPU)

1-4 Installing the Memory

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.

• Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing

the memory to prevent hardware damage.

• 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.

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

1. Four Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one DDR4 memory module is installed.
