Hi Akael:

DNI stands for Do Not Install:

These components may have been placed on the schematic for many reasons. IE your DQ lines are probably because one version of the schematic only supported a 16 bit memory, while another supports the full 32 bit interface.

The CK and CK# resistor is probably for termination.

If you are confident you know what the resistor position is there, you can safely remove them from your schematic.
