Chapter 2: Motherboard information
2.4 System memory
This motherboard comes with two Double Data Rate 3 Low Voltage (DDR3L) Small
Outline Dual Inline Memory Modules (SO-DIMM) socket. The gure illustrates the
location of the DDR3L DIMM socket:
Channel
Sockets
Channel A DIMM_A1
Channel B DIMM_B1
J3455T-IM-A
DIMM_B1
DIMM_A1
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.
NOTE: Visit the ASUS website at www.asus.com for the latest QVL.
