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-8IG1000MK 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-8IG1000MK 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 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 great evolutionary solution for the PC industry that builds on the existing

SDRAM architecture, yet make the awesome advances in solving the system performance bottleneck
by doubling the memory bandwidth.  Nowadays, with the highest bandwidth of 3.2GB/s of DDR400
memory and complete line of DDR400/333/266/200 memory solutions, DDR memory is the best
choice for building high performance and low latency DRAM subsystem that are suitable for servers,
workstations, and full range of desktop PCs.
