512Mo, 1Go, 2Go et 4Go dans les slots noirs ou des modules mémoire DDR2 non

tamponnés et non ECC de 512Mo, 1Go, 2Go et 4Go dans les slots bleus.

• N’utilisez pas des modules mémoire DDR3 et DDR2 simultanément.

• 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

installer 4 Go ou plus de mémoire sur cette carte mère.

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.

1-4 Chapter 1: Product introduction

1.4 Before you proceed

Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change

any motherboard settings.

Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.

Before handling components, use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded

object or a metal object, such as the power supply case, to avoid damaging them due to

static electricity.

Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.

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.
