Memory Population Rule

Please refer to the following illustrations for memory population rules.

Dual-Channel mode Population Rule

In Dual-Channel mode, the memory modules can transmit and receive data with two

data bus lines simultaneously. Enabling Dual-Channel mode can enhance the system

performance. The following illustrations explain the population rules for Dual-Channel

mode.

Important

DDR3 memory modules are not interchangeable with DDR2 and the DDR3 standard

is not backwards compatible. You should always install DDR3 memory modules in

the DDR3 DIMM slots.

In Dual-Channel mode, make sure that you install memory modules of the

same type

and density in dierent channel DIMM slots.

To enable successful system boot-up (Lynneld CPU especially), always insert the

memory modules into the

DIMM1 rst.

Due to the chipset resource deployment, the system density will only be detected up

to 15+GB (not full 16GB) when each DIMM is installed with a 4GB memory module.
