Installing DDR Memory
CAUTION
Exercise extreme care when installing or removing memory
modules to prevent any possible damage.
Memory Module Installation (See Figure 2-2)
1.
Insert each DDR memory module vertically into its slot. Pay attention to
the notch along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the mod-
ule incorrectly. (See support information below.)
2.
Gently press down on the memory module until it snaps into place.
Support
Both double and single-sided ECC/non-ECC, unbuffered DDR-266/200 SDRAM
are supported. Also, both interleaved and non-interleaved operation are sup-
ported. (Inserting two or four modules will enable interleaved operation, while
a single module in DIMM1 will result in non-interleaved operation. Populating
three DIMM slots is not recommended.) When populating two slots, insert the
modules into the DIMM1 and DIMM2 slots. Do not mix memory types and
speeds. DDR-266 is only supported when using a 533 MHz FSB processor.
To Install:
Insert module
vertically and
press down
until it snaps
into place.
Pay attention
to the notch.
