2.4 System memory
2.4.1 OverviewThe motherboard comes with eight Double Data Rate3 (DDR3) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) slots.
A DDR3 module is notched differently from a DDR or DDR2 module.DO NOT install a DDR or DDR2 memory module to the DDR3 slot.
2-11ASUS ESC700 G2
2.4.2 MemoryconfigurationsYou may install 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GBunbuffered ECC or non-ECC DDR3 DIMMs into the DIMM socketsdepending on the installed CPU.
• You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A, Channel B,Channel C, and Channel D. The system maps the total size of thelower-sized channel for the dual-channel configuration. Any excessmemory from the higher-sized channel is then mapped forsingle-channel operation.
• According to Intel CPU spec, DIMM voltage below 1.65V isrecommended to protect the CPU.
• The max. 64GB memory capacity can be supported with DIMMs of8GB (or above). ASUS will update QVL once the DIMMs are availableon the market.
• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimumcompatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory modules from thesame vendor.
• Due to the memory address limitation on 32-bit Windows OS,when you install 4GB or more memory on the motherboard, the actualusable memory for the OS can be about 3GB or less. For effectiveuse of memory, we recommend that you do any of the following: - Usea maximum of 3GB system memory if you are using a 32-bit WindowsOS. - Install a 64-bit Windows OS when you want to install 4GB ormore on the
motherboard. For more details, refer to the Microsoft® supportsite at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929605/en-us.
• This motherboard does not support DIMMs made up of 512Mb(64MB) chips or less (Memory chip capacity counts in Megabit, 8Megabit/Mb = 1 Megabyte/MB).
For system stability, use a more efficient memory cooling systemto support a full memory load (8 DIMMs) or overclockingcondition.
Chapter 2: Hardware setup2-12
2.4.4 Removing a DIMM1. Press the retaining clip outward tounlock
the DIMM.2. Remove the DIMM from the socket.
2.4.3 Installing a DIMM
3. Hold the DIMM by both of its ends, then insert the DIMMvertically into the socket. Apply force to both ends of the DIMMsimultaneously until the retaining clip snaps back into place, andthe DIMM cannot be pushed in any further to ensure proper sittingof the DIMM.
1. Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clipoutward.
2. Align a DIMM on the socket such that the notch on the DIMMmatches the DIMM slot key on the socket.
A DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only onedirection. DO NOT force a DIMM into a socket in the wrong directionto avoid damaging the DIMM.
Ensure to unplug the power supply before adding or removingDIMMs or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severedamage to both the motherboard and the components.
Always insert the DIMM into the socket VERTICALLY to preventDIMM notch damage.

3.2 Jumpers 1. Clear RTC RAM (3-pin CLRTC)
This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM inCMOS. You can reset the system setup parameters by erasing the CMOSRTC RAM data. The onboard button cell battery powers the RAM datain CMOS, which include system setup information such as systempasswords.
To erase the RTC RAM
1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.2. Move thejumper cap from pins 1-2 (default) to pins 2-3. Keep the cap onpins 2-3
for about 5–10 seconds, then move the cap back to pins 1-2.3.Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.4. Hold down the keyduring the boot process and enter BIOS setup to re-
enter data.
Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap on CLRTCjumper default position. Removing the cap will cause system bootfailure!
• If the steps above do not help, remove the onboard battery andmove the jumper again to clear the CMOS RTC RAM data. After theCMOS clearance, reinstall the battery.
• You do not need to clear the RTC when the system hangs due tooverclocking. For system failure due to overclocking, use theC.P.R. (CPU Parameter Recall) feature. Shut down and reboot thesystem so the BIOS can automatically reset parameter settings todefault values.
• Due to the chipset behavior, AC power off is required toenable C.P.R. function. You must turn off and on the power supplyor unplug and plug the power cord before rebooting the system.
3-5ASUS ESC700 G2
2. Chassis Fan control setting (3-pin CHAFAN_SEL)These jumpersallow you to switch for fan pin selection. The CHAFAN_SEL jumper isfor the front fans and rear fans control. Set to pins 1–2 whenusing 3-pin fans or pins 2–3 when using 4-pin fans.
• If you use a 4-pin fan but set the jumper to pin 1-2, the fanyou installed may not work.
• If you use a 3-pin fan but set the jumper for a 4-pin fan, thefan control will not work and the fan you installed will always runat full speed.

3. MemOK! switch
Installing DIMMs that are incompatible with the motherboard maycause system boot failure, and the DIAG_LED near the MemOK! switchlights continuously. Press and hold the MemOK! switch until theDIAG_LED starts blinking to begin automatic memory compatibilitytuning for successful boot.
• Refer to section 2.2.7 Onboard LEDs for the exact location ofthe DIAG_DRAM.
• The DIAG_LED also lights when the DIMM is not properlyinstalled. Turn off the system and reinstall the DIMM before usingthe MemOK! function.
• The MemOK! switch does not function under Windows™ OSenvironment.
• During the tuning process, the system loads and tests failsafememory settings. It takes about 30 seconds for the system to testone set of failsafe settings. If the test fails, the system rebootsand test the next set of failsafe settings. The blinking speed ofthe DIAG_DRAM increases, indicating different test processes.
• Due to memory tuning requirement, the system automaticallyreboots when each timing set is tested. If the installed DIMMsstill fail to boot after the whole tuning process, the DIAG_DRAMlights continuously. Replace the DIMMs with ones recommended in theMemory QVL (Qualified Vendors Lists) in this user manual or on theASUS website at www.asus.com.
• If you turn off the computer and replace DIMMs during thetuning process, the system continues memory tuning after turning onthe computer. To stop memory tuning, turn off the computer andunplug the power cord for about 5–10 seconds.
• If your system fail to boot due to BIOS overclocking, pressthe MemOK! switch to boot and load BIOS default settings. A messgaewill appear during POST reminding you that the BIOS has beenrestored to its default settings.
• We recommend that you download and update to the latest BIOSversion from the ASUS website at www.asus.com after using theMemOK! function.

Chapter 3: BIOS setup
4.1 Knowing BIOSThe new ASUS UEFI BIOS is an Extensible FirmwareInterface that complies with UEFI architecture, offering auser-friendly interface that goes beyond traditional keyboard-onlyBIOS controls to enable more flexible and convenient mouse input.Users can easily navigate the new UEFI BIOS with the samesmoothness as their operating system. The term “BIOS” in this usermanual refers to “UEFI BIOS” unless otherwise specified.
BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) stores system hardwaresettings such as storage device configuration, overclockingsettings, advanced power management, and boot device configurationthat are needed for system startup in the motherboard CMOS. Innormal circ*mstances, the default BIOS settings apply to mostconditions to ensure optimum performance. We recommend that you notchange the default BIOS settings except in the followingcirc*mstances:
• An error message appears on the screen during the systembootup and requests you to run the BIOS Setup.
• You have installed a new system component that requiresfurther BIOS settings or update.
Inappropriate settings of the BIOS may result to instability orfailure to boot. We strongly recommend that you change the BIOSsettings only with the help of a trained service personnel.
4.2 BIOS setup programA BIOS setup program is provided for BIOSitem modification. When you start up the computer, the systemprovides you with the opportunity to run this program. Press duringthe Power-On Self-Test (POST) to enter the Setup utility.Otherwise, POST continues with its test routines.
If you wish to enter Setup after POST, press + + , or press thereset button on the system chassis to restart the system. You canalso turn the system off and then turn it back on to restart thesystem. Do this last option only if the first two failed.
• The BIOS setup screens shown in this section are for referencepurposes only, and may not exactly match what you see on yourscreen.
• Ensure that a USB mouse is connected to your motherboard ifyou want to use the mouse to control the BIOS setup program.
• If the system becomes unstable after changing any BIOSsetting, load the default settings to ensure system compatibilityand stability. Select the Load Optimized Defaults item under theExit menu. See section 4.9 Exit Menu for details.
• If the system fails to boot after changing any BIOS setting,try to clear the CMOS and reset the motherboard to the defaultvalue. See section 3.2 Jumpers for information on how to erase theRTC RAM.
• The BIOS setup program does not support the bluetoothdevices.
The BIOS setup program is designed to make it as easy to use aspossible. Being a menu-driven program, it lets you scroll throughthe various submenus and select from the available options using akeyboard or a USB mouse.

The BIOS setup program can be used under two modes: EZ Mode andAdvanced Mode. You can change modes from the Exit menu or from theExit/Advanced Mode button in the EZ Mode/Advanced Mode screen.
4.2.1 EZ ModeBy default, the EZ Mode screen appears when youenter the BIOS setup program. The EZ Mode provides you an overviewof the basic system information, and allows you to select thedisplay language, system performance mode and boot device priority.To access the Advanced Mode, click Exit/Advanced Mode, then selectAdvanced Mode.
The default screen for entering the BIOS setup program can bechanged. Refer to the Setup Mode item in section 4.7 Boot memu fordetails.
• The boot device options vary depending on the devices youinstalled to the system.
• The Boot Menu(F8) button is available only when the bootdevice is installed to the system.
