CAUTION
Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM
modules to prevent any possible damage. Also note that the
memory is interleaved to improve performance (see step 1).
DIMM Installation (See Figure 2-2)
1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with
DIMM 1A. The memory scheme is interleaved so you must install two
modules at a time, beginning with DIMM 1A, then DIMM 1B, and so on.
2. Insert each DIMM module vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the
notch along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the DIMM
module incorrectly.
3. Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the
slot. Repeat for all modules (see step 1 above).
Memory Support
The X6DAR-8G/X6DAR-iG supports up to 32/16 GB of Registered DDR-266/
333(PC2100/2700) memory (recommended by the Manufacturer). All
motherboards were designed to support 2 GB modules in each slot, but has
only been verified for up to 1.0 GB modules. If Reg. ECC DDR 333 (PC2700)
memory modules are used, 4 pieces of double banked memory and 6 pieces
of single banked memory are supported.
