UDOO BOLT GEAR Documentation

Memory Installation

UDOO BOLT GEAR features 2x 260-pin SO-DIMM sockets for DDR4 memory (CN2 and CN3).

  • Supports 4GB, 8GB and 16GB DDR4 SO-DIMMs up to maximum 32GB.
  • Supports 1.2v DDR4-2400 SO-DIMM ECC and non-ECC memories with dual channel architecture.

In order to exploit the Dual-Channel mode make sure that you install memory modules of the same type and density in different channel DIMM slots.

If you want to use only 1 SO-DIMM module you can install it into either SO-DIMM slot CN2 or slot CN3. If you want to use 2 SO-DIMM modules you can install it into both the SO-DIMM slots CN2 and CN3.

Memory Modules Installation

Please only install DDR4 SO-DIMMs on UDOO BOLT GEAR. Only DDR4 are compatibles with UDOO BOLT GEAR, as there are physical differences between DDR3 and DDR4 memory modules. Check that all the notches line up with the DDR4 SO-DIMM slot to ensure you have the correct DIMM.

Follow these steps to install the RAM modules:

  • Pull both clips on either side of the slot outwards. Align the RAM SO-DIMM module with the slot.
  • Press the module straight down until the plastic clips tick and close. Ensure that the module fits tightly into the SO-DIMM slot. Push the clips inwards to check.

MOdule removal from a socket: gently spread the socket’s retention arms to disengage them from the SO-DIMM module.

Heads up! Do not touch the RAM module contact edge to avoid damaging it.

Validated modules

Here you can find the RAM modules validated and tested with the UDOO BOLT GEAR, part of the family product Transcend DDR4-2400 SO-DIMM

Please always use SO-DIMM modules with the same technical specification.
