DIMM Module Combination
Install at least one DIMM module on the slots. Each DIMM slot supports up to a
maximum size of 2GB. Users can install either single- or double-sided modules to meet
their own needs. Please note that each DIMM can work respectively for single-
channel DDR2, but there are some rules while using dual-channel DDR2.
Users may install memory modules of different type and density on different-channel
DDR DIMMs. However, the same size, type and density memory modules are
necessary while using dual-channel DDR, or instability may happen. Please refer to
the following table for detailed dual-channel DDR. Other combination not listed below
will function as single-channel DDR.

Installing DDR2 Modules

only fit in the right orientation.
2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it in until
the golden finger on the memory module is deeply inserted in the socket.
3. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.
