Preparing the Motherboard
The motherboard shipped in the box does not contain a memory module. You need to
purchase them to complete this installation.
Installing Memory Modules
Your new motherboard has two 1.5 V 240-pin slots for DDR3 memory modules. These
slots support 1 GB/2 GB DDR3 technologies. There must be at least one memory
bank populated to ensure normal operation. Refer to the following recommendations
to install memory modules. (See Figure 1 for the location of the memory slots.)
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.
Note that a memory module has a notch, so it can only fit in one direction. Refer to
the following procedure to install memory modules into the slots on the motherboard.
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.
