Installing Additional Memory Card
The memory sockets on the main board can be populated with up to two industry-standard DIMMs.
These memory sockets are populated with at least one preinstalled DIMM. To achieve the
maximum memory support, you can populate the main board with up to 2-GB of memory.
Populating DIMM Sockets
There are two DIMM sockets on the main board. The sockets are labeled CN2 and CN3.
Installing DIMMs
CAUTION:
You must disconnect the power cord and wait approximately 30 seconds for the
power to drain before adding or removing memory modules. Regardless of the power-on state, voltage is
always supplied to the memory modules as long as the system is plugged into an active AC outlet. Adding
or removing memory modules while voltage is present may cause irreparable damage to the memory
modules or main board. If you see an LED light on the main board, voltage is still present.
The memory module sockets have gold-plated metal contacts. When upgrading the memory, it is
important to use memory modules with gold-plated metal contacts to prevent corrosion and/or oxidation
resulting from having incompatible metals in contact with each other.
Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the system or optional cards. Before
beginning these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a
grounded metal object.
When handling a memory module, be careful not to touch any of the contacts. Doing so may damage
the module.
