• Vous pouvez installer des modules mémoire de tailles variables dans le
Canal A et B. Le système mappe la taille totale du canal de plus petite taille
pour les configurations dual-channel. Tout excédant de mémoire du canal
le plus grand est alors mappé pour fonctionner en single-channel.
• Installez toujours des modules mémoire avec une latence CAS identique.
Pour obtenir une compatibilité optimale, il vous est recommandé de vous
équiper des modules de mémoire auprès du même vendeur.
• En raison des limitations d’adressage mémoire sur les systèmes
d’exploitation Windows 32-bits, lorsque vous installez 4Go ou plus de
mémoire sur cette carte mère, le montant de mémoire utilisable par le
système d’exploitation sera de 3 Go ou moins. Pour une utilisation effective
de la mémoire, vous pouvez :
—
Utiliser un maximum de 3 Go lors de l’utilisation d’un système
d’exploitation 32-bits.
—
Installer un système d’exploitation Windows 64-bits si vous souhaitez

•
La garanzia del prodotto non copre i danni ai pin della presa.
• NON utilizzare contemporaneamente moduli di memoria DDR2 e DDR3.
• È possibile installare diversi formati di memoria nei canali A e B. Il sistema
mappa la dimensione totale del canale di dimensione più piccolo per la
configurazione a canale doppio. Qualsiasi accesso alla memoria dal canale
di dimensione maggiore, viene quindi mappato per il funzionamento a canale
singolo.
• Utilizzare e installare sempre moduli DIMM con la stessa latenza CAS. Per
poter garantire la perfetta compatibilità dei moduli, si raccomanda di utilizzare
moduli di memoria acquistati presso lo stesso venditore.
• A causa dei limiti con gli indirizzi di memoria nel sistema operativo Windows®
a 32 bit, quando si installa una memoria da 4GB o più sulla scheda madre, la
memoria effettivamente utilizzabile dal sistema operativa può essere di 3GB
o meno. Per usare in modo efficace la memoria, si raccomanda di eseguire
una delle seguenti azioni:
— Usare 3GB di memoria di sistema al massimo se si utilizza il sistema
operativo Windows® a 32 bit.
— Per installare 4GB di memoria o più sulla scheda madre, installare il
sistema operativo Windows® a 64 bit.
• Questa scheda madre non supporta DIMM da 256 megabit (Mb) o minori.

• Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or in the
bag that came with the component.
• Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power supply is
switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so may
cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, or components.
Onboard LED
The motherboard comes with a standby power LED that lights up to indicate that the system
is ON, in sleep mode, or in soft-off mode. This is a reminder that you must shut down
the system and unplug the power cable before removing or plugging in any motherboard
component. The illustration below shows the location of the onboard LED.
