2.2 System Memory
Warning:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your system board,
processor, disk drives, add-in boards, and other components. Perform
the upgrade instruction procedures described at an ESD workstation
only. If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD
protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a
metal part of the system chassis. If a wrist strap is unavailable,
establish and maintain contact with the system chassis throughout
any procedures requiring ESD protection.
The system board is equipped with three 168-pin DIMM (Dual In-
line Memory Module) sockets that support VCM or PC SDRAM
DIMM. PC SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory)
uses a fast memory interface technology that includes using the clock
on the chip to synchronize with the CPU clock so that the timing of
the memory chips and the timing of the CPU are synchronized. This
saves time during transmission of data, subsequently increasing
system performance.
Refer to chapter 1 (System Memory section) for detailed
specification of the memory supported by the system board.
