Removing and installing memory
modules
The four 184-pin memory sockets onboard support DDR SDRAM
modules. You may install 128-, 256-, 512-MB and 1 GB DDR SDRAM for
a maximum memory upgrade capacity of up to 4 GB.
The DDR SDRAM module should work under 2.5 volts only; 5-volt
memory devices are not supported. The mainboard supports 266 MHz
DDR-SDRAM ( PC-2100) modules.
WARNING! Do not install and use both PC-1600 and
PC-2100 DDR-SDRAM modules together. Such a
combination might cause your system to malfunction. For
a list of qualified DIMM vendors, please contact your
reseller.
Each of the memory sockets is independent from the others. This
independence allows you to install memory modules with different
capacities to form different configurations.
Removing a DIMM
Before you can install a new DIMM in a socket, remove first any
previously installed DIMM from that socket.
1
Open the front panel and remove the side panel of the housing.
See page 38 for more information on opening the housing panels.
2
Locate the DIMM socket on the mainboard.
3
Press the holding clips on both sides of the socket outward to
release the DIMM (a).
