Hardware Setup

Memory

These DIMM slots are used for installing memory modules.

Installing Memory Modules

1. The memory module has only one notch on the center and will only fit in the right

orientation.

2. Insert the memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it in until the

golden finger on the memory module is deeply inserted in the DIMM slot.

3. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.

You can barely see the golden finger if the memory module is properly

inserted in the DIMM slot.

1. DDR2 memory modules are not interchangeable with DDR and the DDR2

standard is not backwards compatible. You should always install DDR2

memory modules in the DDR2 DIMM slots.

2. To enable successful system boot-up, always insert the memory modules

into the DIMM1 first.
