4.2.8 Memory Specifications
The motherboard has two DIMM module socketsand uses unbuffered
DDR SDRAM DIMM modules for system memory. The system memory
specifications are:
1. Unbuffered DDR SDRAM DIMM modules
2. 200MHz PC1600 or 266MHz PC2100 DDR SDRAM
3. Maximum 2GB total system memory
4.2.9 Memory Configuration Options
This motherboard has flexible memory configuration options. These
include:
1. Supports 64MB, 128MB, 256MB & 512MB modules
2. Any capacity DIMM may be used in either socket as long as total
memory does not exceed 2GB.
3. Modules should be the same speed for best system performance.
4.2.10 Installing Memory Modules
Installing DIMM modules is simple. The modules insert in the sockets
and are held in place by the socket retaining arms. The edge connectors
on the modules are of different widths and there are key notches in each
module. These ensure that you can not insert a module incorrectly.
Before you install any modules, you should choose a configuration. You
should then prepare the required numberand type of DDR modules.
To install either type of module follow this procedure:
1. Align the module to the socket so that the edge connectors on the
module match the socket sections.
2. Hold the module perpendicular to the motherboard and press the
edge connector into the socket.
DIMM Sockets:
System memory sockets are for:
PC1600: 200MHz
PC2100: 266MHz
