Due to CPU limitations, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Dual Channel mode.

1. Dual Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one DDR3 memory module is installed.

2. When enabling Dual Channel mode with two memory modules, it is recommended that memory of

the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used for optimum performance.

is installed, the BIOS will automatically detect the specications and capacity of the memory. Enabling Dual

Channel memory mode will double the original memory bandwidth.

following:

Channel A: DDR3_1

Channel B: DDR3_2
