NOTE!
When you install DIMM module fully into the DIMM socket the eject tab
should be locked into the DIMM module very firmly and fit into its
indention on both sides.
WARNING!
For the SDR SDRAM CLOCK is set at 133MHz, use only PC133/DDR266-
compliant SDR/DDR Modules. When this motherboard operate at 133Mhz,
most system will not even boot if non-compliant modules are used because
of the strict timing issues, if your SDR/DDR Modules are not PC133/
DDR266-compliant, set the SDRAM clock to 100MHz to ensure system
stability.
NOTE!
It is only can install either SDRAM or DDR Module at one time. Don’t
install both DDR Module and SDR Module at same time, it will have risk
to damage your Memory and Motherboard.
