Installing Memory DIMMs
Your new motherboard has four 1.8V 240-pin slots for DDR2 memory. These
slots support 256 Mb, 512 Mb and 1 Gb DDR2 technologies for x8 and x16
devices. They also support dual channel DDR2 memory technology up to
10.7GB/s. There must be at least one memory bank populated to ensure
normal operation. Use the following the recommendations for installing
memory. (See Figure 1 on page 5 for the location of the memory slots.)
One DIMM : Install into slot 0. You can install the DIMM into any slot,
however, slot 0 is preferred.
Two DIMMs : Install into either slots 0 and 1 or 2 and 3. The idea is to not
have the DIMMs in adjacent slots.
Four DIMMS : Install into slots 0, 1, 2, and 3.
