Installation
3.4 System Memory (DDR SDRAM)
3.4.1 DDR DIMM (Double Data Rate Dual Inline Memory Module)
The motherboard features three 184-pin DIMM sockets, share memory module. If you have
only one DDR DIMM RAM, note that you must insert it into DIMM 0. You can configure
the system memory size from 64MB to 1GB in a variety of ways by using different
combinations of the three 168-pin DIMMs.
3.4.2 Installation Procedure
Step1: Make sure Pin 1 of the DIMM match
with pin 1 of the DIMM socket.
Step2: Insert the DIMM module into the DIMM
socket vertically. After inserting the
DIMM module completely into the
socket, push up on the socket latches
securing the DIMM into place. If the pin
1 of the DIMM module does not line up with pin 1 of the socket, the DIMM module
will not be inserted correctly into the socket.
Be careful not to misfit the DIMM into DIMM socket in wrong direction. This module can be
inserted into the socket only one way. To release the memory module, push both latches
down and carefully rock the module forward and backward while slowly lifting it upward.
3.4.3 DIMM Combinations
Each DIMM socket can be inserted with 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 1GB. For
example, the following figure shows you one way to insert your DIMMs.
64MB
256MB
128MB
1GB
DIMM 0
Select
64MB
256MB
128MB
1GB
DIMM 1
512MB
512MB
Select DIMM 0: 128MB
DIMM 1: 512MB
Total
128+512=640MB
Select 1 out of 5 Choices (64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 1 GB) in DIMM 0. Then,
repeat again in DIMM 1 for 6 choices (Empty, 64 MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 1GB) to
go through your own path.
