CAUTION! Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM
modules to prevent any possible damage.
Memory Support
The H8DGU-F supports up to 256GB of DDR3-1333/1066/800MHz registered ECC
SDRAM or 64 GB of DDR3-1333/1066/800 MHz unbuffered ECC/non-ECC SDRAM
in 16 DIMM slots. See the following table for memory installation.
Memory speed support is dependent on the type of CPU used on the board.
Installing Memory Modules
Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with
1.
DIMM 1A. For best memory performance, please install memory modules
of the same type and same speed on the memory slots as indicated on the
tables below.
Insert each DIMM module vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the notch
2.
along the bottom of the module to avoid installing incorrectly (see Figure 5-3).
Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the slot.
