3.4 Installing Memory Modules (SO-DIMM)

is motherboard provides two 260-pin DDR4 (Double Data Rate 4) SO-DIMM

slots.

1. DeskMini 110 series requires DDR4 SO-DIM M.

2. For dual channel conguration , you always need to in stall identical (the same brand,
speed , size and chip-type) DDR4 SO-DIMM pairs.

1. It is not all owed to in stall a DDR, DDR2 or DDR 3 memor y module into a DDR4 slot;
otherwise , this motherboard and SO-DIMM may be damaged.

2. e SO-DIMM only ts in one correc t orientation . It will cause pe rmanent damage to
the motherboard and the SO-DIMM if you force the SO-DIMM into the sl ot at incorrect
orientation.
