SMA Antenna Connectors (1T1R)
Use this connector to connect an antenna.
(Note) Actual support may vary by CPU.
Due to CPU limitations, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in Dual Channel mode.
1. Dual Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one memory module is installed.
2. When enabling Dual Channel mode with two or four memory modules, it is recommended that memory
of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used. For optimum performance, when enabling
Dual Channel mode with two memory modules, we recommend that you install them in the DDR4_1
and DDR4_2 sockets.
Tighten the antenna cables to the antenna connectors and then move the antenna to a place
where the signal is good.
Recommended Dual Channel Memory Conguration:
DDR4_4 DDR4_2 DDR4_3 DDR4_1
