2.2 System Memory
Warning:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your system board, proces-
sor, disk drives, add-in boards, and other components. Perform the
upgrade instruction procedures described at an ESD workstation only.
If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD protection
by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a metal part
of the system chassis. If a wrist strap is unavailable, establish and
maintain contact with the system chassis throughout any procedures
requiring ESD protection.
The system board is equipped with two 184-pin DDR SDRAM
DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module) sockets that support 2.5V
DDR SDRAM DIMM. Double Data Rate SDRAM (DDR SDRAM)
is a type of SDRAM that doubles the data rate through reading
and writing at both the rising and falling edge of each clock. This
effectively doubles the speed of operation therefore doubling the
speed of data transfer.
Refer to chapter 1 (System Memory section) for detailed specifi-
cation of the memory supported by the system board.
BIOS Setting
Configure the system memory in the Advanced Chipset Features
submenu of the BIOS.
