Installing Memory DIMMs
Your new motherboard has two 1.8V 240-pin slots for DDR2 memory modules. These slots
support 256 MB/512 MB/1 GB/2 GB/4 GB DDR2 technologies. They also support dual channel
DDR2 memory technology up to 10.7 GB/s. There must be at least one memory bank populated
to ensure normal operation. Refer to the following recommendations to install memory DIMMs.
q
One DIMM
: Install it into slot 1 or 2. You can install the DIMM into any slot, however, slot 1
is preferred.
q
Two DIMMs : Install them into slot 1 and slot 2
Refer to the following procedure to install memory DIMMs into the slots on the motherboard.
Note that there is only one gap near the center of the DIMM slot. This slot matches the slot on
the memory DIMM to ensure the component is installed properly.
1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the module clips outward.
2. Align the memory module to the DIMM slot, and insert the module vertically into the DIMM
slot. The plastic clips at both sides of the DIMM slot automatically lock the DIMM into the
connector.
