G41M-VGS3 / G41M-VS3 motherboard provides two 240-pin DDR3 (Double Data

Rate 3) DIMM slots, and supports Dual Channel Memory Technology. For dual

channel configuration, you always need to install two identical (the same brand,

speed, size and chip-type) memory modules in the DDR3 DIMM slots to activate

Dual Channel Memory Technology. Otherwise, it will operate at single channel

mode.

1. It is not allowed to install a DDR or DDR2 memory module into

DDR3 slot; otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be

damaged.

2. If you install only one memory module or two non-identical memory

modules, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel Memory

Technology.

3. In order to maximize the system memory, please install 4GB

memory module with 16 cells or 2GB memory modules with at

least 8 cells.

Installing a DIMMInstalling a DIMM

Installing a DIMM

Please make sure to disconnect power supply before adding or

removing DIMMs or the system components.

Step 1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward.

Step 2. Align a DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break

on the slot.

The DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause permanent

damage to the motherboard and the DIMM if you force the DIMM into the

slot at incorrect orientation.

Step 3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the slot until the retaining clips at both ends fully

snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated.
