2.3  Installation of Memory Modules (SO-DIMM)

IMB-150 

motherboard provides two 204-pin DDR3 (Double Data Rate 3) SO-DIMM 

slots, which support Dual Channel DDR3L (low voltage).

1. If you install one memory module only, please install it on DDR3_A1.   
2. It is not allowed to install a DDR or DDR2 memory module into a 
    DDR3 slot; otherwise, this motherboard and SO-DIMM may be 
    damaged.
2. Please make sure to disconnect the power supply before adding or 
    removing SO-DIMMs or the system components.

3. The SO-DIMM only fits in one correct orientation. It will cause 

    permanent damage to the motherboard and the SO-DIMM if you force 
    the SO-DIMM into the slot at incorrect orientation. 

Installing a SO-DIMM (for DDR3_A1)

Step 1.  Unlock a SO-DIMM slot by pressing the retaining clips outward. 
Step 2.  Align a SO-DIMM on the slot such that the notch on the SO-DIMM 
 

matches the break on the slot. 

 

 

Step 3.  Firmly insert the SO-DIMM into the slot until the retaining clips at both 
 

ends fully snap back in place and the SO-DIMM is properly seated.
