Installing Memory Modules
This mainboard accommodates three 184-pin 2.5V unbuffered
Double Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM memory modules. The memory
chips must be standard or registered SDRAM (Synchronous
Dynamic Random Access Memory). You can install 3 unbuffered
DIMM DDR 266/333 or 2 unbuffered DIMM DDR 400. Each
module can be installed with 32 MB to 1 GB of memory; total
memory capacity is 3 GB.
Note:
Double Data Rate SDRAM (DDR SDRAM) doubles the rate to 1.6
GBps and 2.1 GBps. DDR SDRAM uses additional power and
ground lines and requires 184-pin DIMM modules rather than the
168-pin DIMMs used by SDRAM.
Do not remove any memory module from its antistatic packaging
until you are ready to install it on the mainboard. Handle the modules
only by their edges. Do not touch the components or metal parts.
Always wear a grounding strap when you handle the modules.

Installation Procedure
These modules can be installed with up to 3 GB system memory.
Refer to the following steps to install the memory module.
1. Push down the latches on both sides of the DIMM
socket.
2. Align the memory module with the socket. There is
a notch on the DIMM socket that you can install the
DIMM module in the correct direction. Match the
