2.3 Installation of Memory Modules (DIMM)

ConRoe1333-eSATA2 motherboard provides four 240-pin DDRII (Double Data

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

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

speed, size and chip-type) DDRII DIMM pair in the slots of the same color. In other

words, you have to install identical DDRII DIMM pair in Dual Channel A (DDRII_1

and DDRII_3; Yellow slots; see p.2 No.7) or identical DDRII DIMM pair in Dual

Channel B (DDRII_2 and DDRII_4; Orange slots; see p.2 No.8), so that Dual

Channel Memory Technology can be activated. This motherboard also allows

you to install four DDRII DIMMs for dual channel configuration, and please install

identical DDRII DIMMs in all four slots. You may refer to the Dual Channel

Memory Configuration Table below.

Dual Channel Memory Configurations

(3)* Populated Populated Populated Populated

* For the configuration (3), please install identical DDRII DIMMs in all four slots.

1. If you want to install two memory modules, for optimal compatibility

and reliability, it is recommended to install them in the slots of the

same color. In other words, install them either in the set of yellow

slots (DDRII_1 and DDRII_3), or in the set of orange slots (DDRII_2

and DDRII_4).

2. If only one memory module or three memory modules are installed

in the DDRII DIMM slots on this motherboard, it is unable to activate

the Dual Channel Memory Technology.

3. If a pair of memory modules is NOT installed in the same Dual

Channel, for example, installing a pair of memory modules in DDRII_1

and DDRII_2, it is unable to activate the Dual Channel Memory

Technology .

4. It is not allowed to install a DDR memory module into DDRII slot;

otherwise, this motherboard and DIMM may be damaged.

5. If you plan to use ATI

PCI Express VGA card on this motherboard,

the total system memory size should be above 512MB.
