Installing Memory Modules
This motherboard accommodates two 240-pin unbuffered Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM
(Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory) memory modules, and can support DDR2
800/667/533/400 memory types. Each module can be installed with 8 GB of memory, and
its total maximum memory size is 16 GB.
Do not remove any memory module from its antistatic packaging until you
are ready to install it on the motherboard. Handle the modules only by
their edges. Do not touch the components or metal parts. Always wear a
grounding strap when you handle the modules.

Installation Procedure
Refer to the following to install the memory modules.
1
This motherboard supports unbuffered DDR2 SDRAM only.
2
Push the latches on each side of the DIMM slot down.
3
Align the memory module with the slot. The DIMM slots are keyed with notches
and the DIMMs are keyed with cutouts so that they can only be installed
correctly.
4
Check that the cutouts on the DIMM module edge connector match the notches
in the DIMM slot.
5
Install the DIMM module into the slot and press it firmly down until it seats
correctly. The slot latches are levered upwards and latch on to the edges of
the DIMM.
6
Install any remaining DIMM modules.
