You can check the supported RAM/CPU list for information like this.

Here you can find the officially supported memory list.
If nothing is showing, click "Compatibility" from the left side, then choose "Memory".

To be safe, you should buy a RAM model from that list.

I have install a memory module on that motherboard, that is not at the list and it runs ok.

Yes that can work fine, but the list shows memories that are tested and guaranteed to work.
So just to be extra careful, one can buy something similar at least.
