The A1SAM/A1SRM Series motherboard supp orts up to 64GB of D DR3 ECC
or Non-ECC Unbuf fered (UDIMM) 160 0/1333 MHz in x8 data width o nly, in 4
memory slots. Pop ulating these DIMM modules with a pai r of memory modules
of the same type and sa me size will result in better memory per formance.
Note: For memory optimization, use only DIMM modules that have been validated by Supermicro.
For the latest memory updates, please refer to our website a at http://www.supermicro.com/

Memory Population Guidelines
When installing memory modules, the DIMM slots should be populated in the following
order: DIMMA1, DIMMB1, DIMMA2 and DIMMB2.
• Always use DDR3 DIMM modules of the same size, type and speed.
• The motherboard will support one DIMM module or three DIMM modules in-
stalled. However for best memory performance, install DIMM modules in pairs.
• Be sure to use memory modules of the same type, same speed, and same
frequency on the same motherboard. Mixing of memory modules of different
types and speeds is not allowed.
