NOTE!
When you install DIMM module fully into the DIMM socket the eject tab should be
locked into the DIMM module very firmly and fit into its indention on both sides.
WARNING!
If the SDRAM CLOCK is set at 133MHz, you must use only PC133-
compliant DIMMs. When this motherboard operate at 133Mhz, most
system will not even boot if non-compliant SDRAM modules are used
because of the strict timing issues, if your DIMM are not PC133-
compliant, set the SDRAM clock to 100MHz to ensure system’s
stability.
