SO-DIMM_B1
SO-DIMM_A1
2.4 System memory
This motherboard comes with two Double Data Rate 4 (DDR4) Dual Inline Memory
Module (DIMM) sockets. The gure below illustrates the location of the DDR4
DIMM sockets:
Channel Sockets
Channel A DIMM_A1
Channel B DIMM_B1
IMPORTANT!
You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. The
system maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel
conguration. Any excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then
mapped for single-channel operation.
Always install the DIMMs with the same CAS Latency. For an optimum
compatibility, we recommend that you install memory modules of the same
version or data code (D/C) from the same vendor. Check with the vendor to
get the correct memory modules.
According to Intel
®
CPU spec, DIMM voltage below 1.35V is recommended
to protect the CPU.
