Installing the Memory Modules (DIMM)
•
This mainboard has three sockets available for
168-pin DIMMs
. They must be
3.3 volt Unbuffered Synchronous DRAMs (SDRAM).
•
To ensure reliability, it is recommended to use
PC100
SDRAM for
your 100MHz clocked SDRAM performance requirement.
•
DIMM Sizes supported:
8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB
and
256MB
•
A total of
(3)
DIMMs can be installed for a maximum RAM capacity of
768MB
.
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 outwards to release the module then pull
the module out of the socket.
Caution:
Before removing a DIMM, make sure the
RAM Power LED Indicator is off
. The
blinking of the LED indicates that power is provided for the DRAM, as in normal
operation as well as in Suspend to RAM mode. Removing a DIMM in the Suspend
to RAM mode will result in loss of system context.
