Installing and Removing System Memory
Desktop board DQ57TML has four 240-pin DDR3 DIMM sockets arranged as DIMM 0
and DIMM 1 in both Channel A and Channel B.
NOTE
A DIMM must be present in at least one of the DIMM 0 sockets when you are using
only one or two DIMMs with a processor that does not support Intel Graphics
Technology.
Guidelines for Dual-Channel Memory Configuration
Before installing DIMMs, read and follow these guidelines for dual-channel memory
configuration.
Two or Four DIMMs
Install a matched pair of DIMMs equal in speed and size (see Figure 16) in the DIMM 0
(blue) sockets of channels A and B.
