The memory sockets on the system 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 system board with up to 2GB
of memory.
For proper system operation, if the computer supports DDR2
DIMMs, the DIMMs must be:
+
Industry-standard 240-pin
DDR2 667 MHz DIMM
+
256Mbit, 512Mbit, and 1Gbit non-ECC memory technologies
T
+
single-sided and double-sided DIMMS
he system will not start if you install unsupported DIMMs.
CAUTION:
The memory module sockets have gold metal contacts. When
upgrading the memory, it is important to use memory modules with gold
metal contacts to prevent corrosion and/or oxidation resulting from having
incompatible metals in contact with each other.
CAUTION:
Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the
computer or optional cards. Before beginning these procedures, ensure
that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a grounded
metal object. For more informations, refer to Appendix D, "Electrostatic
Discharge."
CAUTION:
When handling a memory module, be careful not to touch any
of the contacts. Doing so may damage the module.
