Installing DIMMs
CAUTION:
Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM
modules to prevent any possible damage. Also note that the memory is
interleaved to improve performance (see step 1).
DIMM Installation (See Figure 2-2)
1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with
Bank 1. The memory scheme is interleaved so you must install two
modules at a time, beginning with Bank 1, then Bank 2, and so on.
2. Insert each DIMM module vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the
notch along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the DIMM
module incorrectly.
3. Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the
slot. Repeat for all modules (see step 1 above).
Memory Support
The motherboard only supports ECC registered DDR-266/200 MHz SDRAM
memory. If you are using 533 MHz front side bus processors(s), you must
u s e D D R - 2 6 6 S D R A M . I f y o u a r e u s i n g 4 0 0 M H z f r o n t s i d e b u s
processors(s), you may use either DDR-266 or DDR-200 SDRAM.
To Remove:
Use your
thumbs to
gently push
near the edge
of both ends
of the module.
This should
release it
from the slot.
