Installing Memory Modules
This mainboard accommodates two 168-pin 3.3V unbuffered SDRAM memory
modules. You must install at least one module in any of the slots. Each mod-
ule can be installed with 32 MB to 512 MB of memory; total memory capacity
is 1GB.
Note:
SDRAM provides 800 MBps or 1 GBps data transfer depending on
whether the bus is 100MHz or 133MHz.
Do not remove any memory module from its antistatic packaging until
you are ready to install it on the mainboard. Handle the modules only by
their edges. Do not touch the components or metal parts. Always wear
a grounding strap when you handle the modules.
Installation Procedure
Refer to the following to install the memory modules.
1. This mainboard supports unbuffered SDRAM only. Do not attempt to in-
sert any other type of SDRAM into the slots.
2. Push the latches on each side of the DIMM slot down.
3. Align the memory module
with the slot. The DIMM
slots are keyed with
notches and the DIMMs
are keyed with cutouts so
that they can only be in-
stalled correctly.
4. Check that the cutouts on
the DIMM module edge
connector match the
notches in the DIMM slot.
5. Install the DIMM module
into the slot and press it
firmly down until it seats
correctly. The slot latches
are levered upwards and
latch on to the edges of
the DIMM.
6. Install any remaining DIMM modules.
