2.2 System Memory
The system board is equipped
with two 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.
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.
