Hardware Installation Process

English

Below are the explanations:
If you want to operate the Dual Channel Technology, please note the following explanations
due to the limitation of Intel chipset specifications.
1 . Only one DDR memory module is installed:  The Dual Channel Technology can't

operate when only one DDR memory module is installed. Additionally, you can boot the
system only when the memory module is inserted into Channel A. On the other hand,
the memory module must be inserted into DIMM1 or DIMM3 sockets.

2 . Two DDR memory modules are installed (the same memory size and type): The Dual

Channel Technology will operate when two memory modules are inserted individually
into Channel A and B. If you install two memory modules in the same channel, the Dual
Channel Technology will not operate. Additionally, you can boot the system only when
one of the memory modules is inserted into Channel A. On the other hand, the memory
module must be inserted into DIMM1 or DIMM3 sockets.

3 . Three DDR memory modules are installed: Please note that The Dual Channel Technol-

ogy will not operate when three DDR memory modules are installed; part of them will
not be detected.

4 . Four DDR memory modules are installed: If you install four memory modules at the

same time, the Dual Channel Technology will operate only when those modules have
the same memory size and type.

Dual Channel DDR:

GA-8IG1000MF Series supports Dual Channel Technology.
When Dual Channel Technology is activated, the bandwidth of memory bus will be double the original
one,with the fastest speed at 6.4GB/s DDR400.
GA-8IG1000MF Series includes four DIMM slots, and each Channel has 2 DIMMs as following:

Channel A : DIMM 1, 2
Channel B : DIMM 3, 4

DDR Introduction

Established on the existing SDRAM industry infrastructure, DDR (Double Data Rate) memory is a

high performance and cost-effective solution that allows easy adoption for memory vendors, OEMs
and system integrators.

DDR memory is a sensible evolutionary solution for the PC industry that builds on the existing

SDRAM infrastructure, yet makes awesome advances in solving the system performance bottleneck
by doubling the memory bandwidth. DDR SDRAM will offer a superior solution and migration path from
existing SDRAM designs due to its availability, pricing and overall market support. PC2100 DDR
memory (DDR266) doubles the data rate through reading and writing at both the rising and falling edge
of the clock, achieving data bandwidth 2X greater than PC133 when running with the same DRAM
clock frequency. With peak bandwidth of 2.664GB per second, DDR memory enables system OEMs
to build high performance and low latency DRAM subsystems that are suitable for servers, workstations,
high-end PC's and value desktop SMA systems.
