This chapter provides you with the information about hardware setup
procedures. While doing the installation, be careful in holding the com-
ponents and follow the installation procedures. For some components, if
you install in the wrong orientation, the components will not work prop-
erly.
Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components. Static
electricity may damage the components.

Memory
Dual-Channel Mode
In Dual-Channel mode, make sure that you install memory modules of the same
type and density in different channel DIMM slots.
Recommended Memory Population
Number of DIMMs installed 1 2
DIMM1 (ch A) V V
DIMM2 (ch B) V
Important
• "V" indicates a populated DIMM slot.
• Paired memory installation for Max performance.
• Populate the same DIMM type in each channel, specically: 1. Use the same
DIMM size; 2. Use the same number of ranks per DIMM.

2-4
Hardware Setup MS-98G5
Installing Memory Modules
1. Unlock the DIMM slot by
ipping open its side clips.
2. Vertically insert the DIMM into
the DIMM slot. The DIMM
has an off-center notch at the
bottom that will only allow it to
t one way into the DIMM slot.
Push the DIMM deeply into the
DIMM slot. The side clips of
the slot will automatically close
when the DIMM is properly
seated and an audible click
should be heard.
3. Manually check if the DIMM
has been locked in place by the
DIMM slot’s side clips.
Important
• Motherboard photos shown in
this section are for demonstration
only and may differ from the
actual look of your motherboard.
• You can barely see the golden
nger if the DIMM is properly
inserted in the DIMM slot.
Important
To enable successful system bootup, always insert the memory module into the
DIMM1 rst.
