Memory Configuration
You can install up to 384MB(SDRAM) or 768MB(Registered SDRAM) of memory
in the motherboard DIMM sockets. The board has DIMM sockets arranged as
banks 1, 2, and 3. You can install DIMMs in any of these banks, and use different
size DIMMs in different banks. The BIOS detects the size and type of installed
memory.
To install DIMMs
1. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the computer. Turn off the
computer.
2. Remove the computer cover and locate the DIMM sockets.
3. Holding the DIMM by the edges, remove it from its antistatic package.
4. Make sure the clips at either end of the socket are pushed away from the
socket.
5. Position the DIMM above the socket. Align the two small notches in the
bottom edge of the DIMM with the keys in the socket.
6. Insert the bottom edge of the DIMM into the socket.
7. When the DIMM is seated, push down on the top edge of the DIMM until the
retaining clips at the ends of the socket snap into place. Make sure the
clips are firmly in place.
8. Replace the computer cover.
9. If you installed a DIMM with ECC memory, start the computer and use the
ECC Configuration feature in Setup to enable the use of ECC.
