3.4 System Memory (DDR SDRAM)
3.4.1 DDR DIMM (Double Data Rate Dual Inline Memory Module)
The motherboard features support two 184-pin DIMM, share memory module. You can configure the system
memory size from 64MB to 2GB in a variety of ways by using different combinations of the two 184-pin DIMMs.
3.4.2 Installation Procedure
Step1:
Make sure
Pin 1 of the DDR DIMM match
with pin
1
of the DDR DIMM socket.
Step2:
Insert the DIMM module into the DIMM socket
vertically. After inserting the DIMM module completely into
the
socket, push up on the socket latches securing the DIMM into
place. If the pin 1 of the DIMM module does not line up with
pin 1
of the socket, the DIMM module will not be inserted correctly
into
the socket.
Be careful not to misfit the DIMM into DIMM socket in wrong direction. This module can be inserted into the
socket only one way. To release the memory module, push both latches down and carefully rock the module
forward and backward while slowly lifting it upward.
3.4.3 DIMM Combinations
Each DIMM socket can be inserted with 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 1GB DDR DIMM. For example, the
following figure shows you one way to insert your DIMMs.

Select DIMM 0: 256MB
DIMM 1: 512MB
Total
256+512=768MB
Select 1 out of 5 Choices (64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 1 GB) in DDR DIMM 0. Then, repeat again in
DDR DIMM 1 for 6 choices (Empty, 64 MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 1GB) to go through your own path.
