2-4 Install Memory
This motherboard provides
two
184-pin DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULES (DIMM) for
DDR SDRAM and
two
168-pin DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULES (DIMM) for SDR
SDRAM sites for memory expansion available from minimum memory size of 64MB to
maximum memory size of 2.0GB DDR/SDR SDRAM.

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.
NOTE!
Make sure the total installed memory does not exceeds 2.0GB, otherwise the
system may hang during startup.
Generally, installing DDR SDRAM modules to your motherboard is very easy, you can refer
to figure 2-4 to see what a 184-Pin DDR200/DDR266 DDR SDRAM module looks like.

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 DDR SDRAM CLOCK is set at 133MHz, use only DDR266-compliant
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 DDR Modules are not DDR266-compliant, set the DDR SDRAM clock to
100MHz to ensure system stability.
