Installing Memory Modules
This mainboard accommodates two 184-pin 2.5V unbuffered Double Data
Rate (DDR) SDRAM memory modules. You must install at least one module
in any of the two slots. Each module can be installed with 32 MB to 1 GB of
memory; total memory capacity is 2 GB.
Note:
SDRAM provides 800 MBps or 1 GBps data transfer depending on
whether the bus is 100 MHz or 133 MHz. Double Data Rate SDRAM
(DDR SDRAM) doubles the rate to 1.6 GBps and 2.1 GBps. DDR
SDRAM uses additional power and ground lines and requires 184-pin
DIMM modules rather than the 168-pin DIMMs used by SDRAM.
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 DDR SDRAM only. Do not attempt to
insert any other type of DDR SDRAM into the slots.
2. Push the latches on each side of the DIMM slot down.
