1.4 System Memory
The board has two 204-pin SO-DIMM sockets and supports the following memory features:
• 1.35 V DDR3L SDRAM SO-DIMMs with gold plated contacts
• Two independent memory channels with interleaved mode support
• Unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided SO-DIMMs
• 16 GB maximum total system memory (with 4 Gb memory technology). Refer to Section 2.1.1
on page 37 for information on the total amount of addressable memory.
• Minimum recommended total system memory: 2048 MB
• Non-ECC SO-DIMMs
• Serial Presence Detect
• DDR3L 1600/1333 MHz SDRAM SO-DIMMs
NOTE
To be fully compliant with all applicable DDR SDRAM memory specifications, the board should be
populated with SO-DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure. This
allows the BIOS to read the SPD data and program the chipset to accurately configure memory
settings for optimum performance. If non-SPD memory is installed, the BIOS will attempt to
correctly configure the memory settings, but performance and reliability may be impacted or the
SO-DIMMs may not function under the determined frequency.
Table 4 lists the supported SO-DIMM configurations.
