Now i have no ddr3l-12800(1066) except one ddr3-8500 1G memory.
I knew J4205 support 1333/1600/1866 official.
But When i inserted one ram(8500 1G) to J4205, it work noting after power such as no-display, no-booting and no-beep.
Question1) Is it correct becaue of mismatching?

and so i buy one ddr3l-12800 8GB memory and it will get that next week.

Question2) Is J4205 work in case of single memory mode?
If it is possible, Where does it insert in DDR_A1 or DDR_B2 socket?

If it works at all, I'd expect A1. Presumably, you've now tried it. What did you find?

BTW, the documentation is pretty pathetic. It doesn't seem cover this, at all, which is a pretty common question/configuration.

Anyway, if you're going to use the integrated graphics for anything non-trivial, I'd recommend dual-channel mode. Integrated graphics definitely benefits/suffers from memory bandwidth.
