User’s Manual 1.5 System Memory 1.5.1 SO-DIMM Sockets Location The motherboard comes with two 204-pin Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) SO-DIMM sockets. A DDR3 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR2 SO-DIMM but has a 204-pin footprint compared to the 200-pin DDR2 DIMM. DDR3 SO-DIMMs are notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR2 SO-DIMM socket. The following figure illustrates the location of the sockets: IX57QM/IX55HM Data Modul AG - www.data-modul.
IX57QM/IX55HM 1.5.2 Memory Configurations You can install 1GB, 2GB and 4GB DDR3 SDRAM SO-DIMMs into the SO-DIMM sockets using the memory configurations in this section. z z z Installing DDR3 SO-DIMM other than the recommended configurations may cause memory sizing error or system boot failure. Use any of the recommended configurations. Always install SO-DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor.
User’s Manual 1.5.3 Installing a DDR3 SO-DIMM Make sure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing SO-DIMMs or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both the motherboard and the components. 1. Unlock a SO-DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outward. Align a DIMM on 2. the socket such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break on the socket. Firmly insert the DIMM into the socket until the retaining clips snap back in place and the DIMM.
IX57QM/IX55HM 1.5.4 Removing a DDR3 SO-DIMM 1. Simultaneously press the retaining clips outward to unlock the SO-DIMM. 2. Remove the SO-DIMM from the socket. Support the SO-DIMM lightly with your fingers when pressing the retaining clips. The SO-DIMM might get damaged when it flips out with extra force. 24 Data Modul AG - www.data-modul.
User’s Manual 1.6 Expansion Slots In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The following sub‑sections describe the slots and the expansion cards that they support.
