Important
Always insert memory modules in the DIMM2 slot first.
Due to chipset resource usage, the available capacity of memory will be a little less
than the amount of installed.

Please note that the maximum capacity of addressable memory is 4GB or less
for 32-bit Windows OS due to the memory address limitation. Therefore, we
recommended that you to install 64-bit Windows OS if you want to install more than
4GB memory on the motherboard.
It is recommended to use a more efficient memory cooling system for full DIMMs
installation or overclocking.

Please do not fold the SATA or SATAe cable at a 90-degree angle. Data loss may
result during transmission otherwise.
SATA or SATAe cables have identical plugs on either sides of the cable. However,
it is recommended that the flat connector be connected to the motherboard for
space saving purposes.
