1.6 System Memory 1.6.1 Overview The motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets. A DDR2 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR DIMM but has a 240-pin footprint compared to the 184-pin DDR DIMM. DDR2 DIMMs are notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR DIMM socket. DIMM_B2 DIMM_B1 DIMM_A2 DIMM_A1 128 Pins R 112 Pins The figure illustrates the location of the DDR2 DIMM sockets: Figure 1.
1.6.2 Memory Configuration You may install 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB unbuffered non-ECC DDR2 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets. Note: 1. You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. The system maps the total size of the lowersized channel for the dual-channel configuration. Any excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then mapped for single-channel operation. 2. Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency.
Note: 1.6.3 Notes on memory limitations: 1. Due to chipset limitations, this motherboard can only support up to 8 GB on the operating systems listed below. You may install a maximum of 2 GB DIMMs on each slot, but only DDR2533 and DDR2-667 2 GB density modules are available for this configuration. 2. Some old-version DDR2-800/667 DIMMs may not match Intel®’s On-Die-Termination (ODT) requirement and will automatically downgrade to run at DDR2-533.
To install a DIMM: 1. Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outward. 2. Align a DIMM on the socket such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break on the socket. 3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the socket until the retaining clips snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated. Note: 1.6.4 2 3 DDR2 DIMM notch 1 1 A DDR2 DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one direction. Do not force a DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging the DIMM.
