GA-8ITXE Motherboard
Step 2: Install memory modules
The motherboard has 4 Rambus In-line Memory Module (RIMM) sockets. The BIOS will automati-
cally detect memory type and size. To install the memory module, just push it vertically into the
RIMM Slot .The RIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the two notches. Please note; Both
RIMM modules inserted on RIMM1 and RIMM3 slots are recommended to have the same size,
frequency. If not, the larger sized module will l be automatically re-sized by BIOS to match the
smaller sized module. The same rule applies to both RIMM2 and RIMM4 slots.
You can insert two RIMMs or four RIMMs into RIMM slots, but C-RIMM (Continuity RIMM)
modules must be inserted into the empty slots.
Push the ejector tab towards the RIMM.
When STR/RIMM LED is ON, you do not install / remove RDRAM from socket.

Check RIMM module if it is supported by the
M/B.
Insert the RIMM module into the slot.
Please note that the DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the two
notches. Wrong orientation will cause improper installation. Please change
the insert orientation.
