Installing and Removing Memory
Intel Desktop Board DQ45CB has four 240-pin DDR2 DIMM sockets arranged as
DIMM 0 and DIMM 1 in both Channel A and Channel B.
NOTE
Regardless of the memory configuration used (dual or single channel), Channel A,
DIMM 0 must always be populated. This is a requirement of the ICH10DO
Manageability Engine feature.
Guidelines for Dual Channel Memory Configuration
Before installing DIMMs, read and follow these guidelines for dual channel
configuration.
Two or Four DIMMs
Install a matched pair of DIMMs equal in speed and size (see Figure 14) in DIMM 0
(blue) of channels A and B.
