Installing & Removing Dual In-line Memory Modules DIMMs
Installing Memory
You can install from 64MB to 2GB of memory in the motherboard DIMM sockets.
The board has DIMM sockets arranged as banks 0 & 1. The motherboard supports
the following memory features:
•
184-pin DDR / 168-pin SDR DIMMs with gold-plated contacts.
•
333/266MHz DDR / 100/133 SDR RAM, PC2700/2100/PC1600 compliant.
•
64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB, 512MB and 1GB modules.
When adding memory, follow these guidelines:
•
You can install DIMMs in any of the banks.
•
You can use different size DIMMs in different banks.
•
The BIOS detects the size and type of installed memory.
•
Please note, the motherboard will not support DDR and SDR at the same
time
To install DIMMs, follow these steps:
1. Observe the precautions in “Before You Begin”. Turn off the computer and
all peripheral devices.
2. Remove the computer cover and locate the DIMM sockets.
3. Holding the DIMM by the edges, remove it from its antistatic package.
4. Make sure the clips at either end of the socket are pushed away from the
socket.
5. Position the DIMM above the socket. Align the two small notches in the
bottom edge of the DIMM with the keys in the socket. Insert the bottom edge
of the DIMM into the socket.
6. When the DIMM is seated, push down on the top edge of the DIMM until the
retaining clips at the ends of the socket snap into place. Make sure the clips
are firmly in place.
7. Replace the computer cover.
