Step3:
Install the SDRAM Modules
l
The motherboard has two DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module) sockets which
support SDRAM modules installed with 3.3V, unbuffered, PC-100 (100MHz)
SDRAM memory chips. Each memory module can support a maximum
capacity of 128MB so total maximum memory is 256MB.
l
Follow the steps mentioned below to install the SDRAM module :
l
On the motherboard, locate DIMM sockets.
l
Pull the locking latches of the DIMM sockets outwards.
l
Align the memory module correctly. The edge connector of the memory
module has notches that match obstructions in the DIMM socket. You must
match the notches with the obstructions in order to install the module.
l
Press the edge connector of the memory module into the DIMM socket.
Press down quite firmly so that the locking latches of the DIMM socket are
levered upwards to secure the memory module in place.
l
Repeat the process with any other memory modules that you want to install.
