Installation

3.4 System Memory (DRAM)

3.4.1 DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Module)

The motherboard features three 168-pin DIMM sockets, share memory module. If

you have only one DIMM RAM, note that you must insert it into DIMM 1. You can

configure the system memory size from 16MB to 512MB/768MB 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 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, and

256MB. For example, the following figure shows you one way to insert your

DIMMs.
