Installing the Memory (DIMM)
•
The P6B40D-A5 mainboard has four sockets available for
168-pin DIMMs
. They must
be 3.3 volt Unbuffered Synchronous DRAMs (SDRAM) or 3.3 volt EDO RAM.
For using SDRAMs:
•
If you are using a CPU with a 100MHz system bus, you can use only the
100MHz (-10 ns) or faster SDRAMs.
•
If you are using a CPU with a 66MHz system bus, you can use either the 66
MHz or 100MHz SDRAMs, or mix them both.
•
DIMM Sizes supported:
8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB,
and
256MB
•
A total of
(4)
DIMMs can be installed for a maximum RAM capacity of
1 GB
.
To insert the DIMMs, the modules must be oriented in the correct way. Notice the notches
of the DIMM. Align these notches as shown in the diagram below. Gently push the DIMM
until the retainers on both sides of the socket lock the module in place.
To remove a DIMM,
push the retainers outward to release the module then pull the module out of the socket.

Installing an AGP Card
This mainboard provides an AGP slot to support a new generation of graphics cards with
high performance graphics capability.
Note:
Make sure that the AGP card is firmly seated in the AGP slot. For the card that
complies with the
AGP 1.x specifications
, a slightly more force may be required to fully
insert the card into the slot. For cards that comply with AGP 2.0 and later specifications, the
installation should be relatively easy.
