Additional Notes
- Dual channel mode functionality requires installing memory in matched pairs to bypass single channel bandwidth limitations.
- The BIOS will automatically downclock higher frequency modules to the system maximum of 2666 MHz during operation.
- Utilizing both SO-DIMM slots for the maximum 32 GB capacity necessitates replacing any existing pre-installed modules as no empty expansion slots remain available after reaching this limit.
- Non-ECC unbuffered modules are required to ensure boot compatibility with the Dell Inspiron 5480 motherboard architecture.
- Physical installation of thin profile SO-DIMM sticks is mandatory due to the internal height restrictions of the chassis design.
- Installation of memory modules with lower latency timings than the factory defaults will still be restricted by the preset latency profiles in the system firmware.
- The memory controller integrated into the processor determines the final data transfer rate regardless of the theoretical maximums of the individual RAM sticks.
