Hardware Installation
2.2 System Memory
The system board is equipped with four
168-pin DIMM (Dual In-line Memory
Module) sockets that support unbuffered
PC-133/PC-100 SDRAM DIMM for
133MHz/100MHz system memory bus.
PC SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic
Random Access Memory) is a fast
memory interface technology that uses
the clock on the chip to synchronize with
the CPU clock so that the timing of the
memory chips and the timing of the
CPU are synchronized. This saves time
during transmission of data, subsequently increasing system
performance.
You can use single-sided or double-sided DIMMs. 16MB, 32MB,
64MB and 128MB are single-sided DIMMs. 32MB, 64MB, 128MB
and 256MB are double-sided DIMMs. The following rules must be
followed when installing DIMM modules.
Warning:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your system board,
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.

SDRAM DIMM
Supports single-sided or double-sided DIMM.
Supports single-sided or double-sided DIMM.
If you use double-sided DIMM, leave DIMM 4 empty.
If you use single-sided DIMM, only install single-sided DIMM in
DIMM 4.
Only supports single-sided DIMM and can be used only if DIMM 3
is installed with single-sided DIMM too.
