KX400-8XV V2.0 Series

Memory Installation
The series contain 3 sockets, which use 184- pin DDR SDRAM with a total memory capacity of up
to 3 GB. You can install unbuffered/ registered non-ECC DDR400/ 333/ 266 (PC3200/ 2700/
2100)SDRAM.
*If you are planning to use all three DIMM sockets, you must take into consideration the address bus
configuration which is not equally distributed amongst the three sockets. DIMM3 has its own
address bus, but DIMM1 and DIMM2 share a single address bus. It is recommended that you install
memory modules that balance the load between the two address busses, both physically (chips on
each module) and in terms of total memory.
For example, an ideal configuration would be to install a double-sided, 16-chip module into DIMM3
containing a total of 1.0 GB of memory. Then you can install single-sided, 8-chip, 512 MB modules
into DIMM1 and DIMM2
。
*If you want to use only double-sided DIMMs, we suggest that you use only two of the DIMM
sockets. We also suggest that you use either DIMM1 and DIMM3 together or DIMM2 and DIMM3
together.
RAM Module Installation:
1.
Pull the white plastic tabs on each side of the slot away from the slot.
2.
Match the notch on the button of the RAM module with the corresponding pattern in the
DIMM slot. This ensures that the module is inserted properly.
3.
Lower the RAM module into the DIMM Slot and press firmly using both thumbs until the
module snaps into place.
4.
Repeat steps 1, 2 and 3 for the remaining RAM modules.
