Preparing the Motherboard

The motherboard shipped in the box does not contain a memory. You need to pur-
chase these to complete this installation. 

Installing Memory DIMMs

Your  new  motherboard  has  two  1.8V  240-pin  slots  for  DDR2  memory. These  slots 
support 256 MB, 512 Mb, 1GB / 2GB / 4GB DDR2 technologies. There must be at 
least one memory bank populated to ensure normal operation. Use the following the 
recommendations for installing memory.  (See Figure 1 for the location of the memory 
slots.)

q   

One DIMM

: You can install the DIMM into any slot.

q   

Two DIMMs

:  Install into slots 1 and 2. The idea is to run on dual channel

                               mode.
