2.2 System Memory
Warning:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your mainboard, 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 mainboard is equipped with three 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMM
(Dual In-line Memory Module) sockets that support 2.5V DDR
SDRAM DIMM. Double Data Rate SDRAM (DDR SDRAM) is a
type of SDRAM that doubles the data rate through reading and
writing at both the rising and falling edge of each clock. This
effectively doubles the speed of operation therefore doubling the
speed of data transfer.
Refer to chapter 1 (System Memory section) for detailed
specification of the memory supported by the mainboard.
