Assigning System Resources
Some expansion cards include a configuration diskette that you can use to reserve the system
resources required for the card. Other expansion cards do not include a diskette, but require that
you manually program the BIOS with the configuration information.
See Chapter 7, “Configuring the BIOS,” for details on using BIOS Setup to assign system
resources and configure the BIOS for expansion cards.
Adding Memory
You can add system memory by installing or replacing dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).
The system board has four DIMM sockets, arranged in four banks of one socket each. The system
supports up to 1 GB (1,024 MB) of error-correction code (ECC) synchronous dynamic random-
access memory (SDRAM).
Install DIMMs in order from the lowest bank to the highest bank, beginning with bank 0 (nearest
the processor) or the first open bank. The following tables show possible memory configurations.

See Chapter 10, “Servicing System Components,” for instructions to install a DIMM. See the
System Board Manual for DIMM socket locations and details.
