Installing & Removing DIMM Memory Modules
Installing Memory
You can install from 32MB to 2GB of memory in the motherboard DIMM (Dual In-
Line Memory Modules) sockets. The board has DIMM sockets arranged as banks 1,
2, 3, and 4. The motherboard supports the following memory features:
•= 168-pin 3.3 V DIMMs with gold-plated contacts
•= 100 MHz unbuffered or Registered SDRAM
•= Single or double-banked DIMMs
•= ECC (72-bit) memory
•= 32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB and 512 MB modules
When adding memory, follow these guidelines:
•= You must install DIMMs in bank 1 first, and then bank 2 and so on.
•= You can use different size DIMMs in the any of the banks.
•= The BIOS detects the size and type of installed memory.
•= All the memory must be ECC.
NOTE:
DIMMS MUST MEET THE INTEL PC100 SPECIFICATIONS FOR 72-BIT SDRAM.
