Aurora R2 had dual channel memory so you install matching DIMMs in sets of 2. For 8gb, I suggest 4x 2gb Dimms.
Download PDF Owners and Service manuals. Only read Aurora-R2 items.

six internally-accessible DDR3 DIMM sockets
Aurora-R2
four internally-accessible DDR3 DIMM sockets

1 GB, 2 GB, and 4 GB
1066 MHz and I333 MHz
Minimum
3 GB
Maximum

1600 MHz XMP (Aurora/Aurora ALX)
Minimum
