Installing & Removing DDR2 SDRAM Memory Modules (DIMMs)

Installing Memory

You can install from 128MB to 4GB of memory in the Motherboard DIMM sockets.

The board has four 240-pin DDR2 SDRAM DIMM sockets.

The Motherboard supports the following memory features:

• 240-pin 1.8volt only DIMMs with gold-plated contacts.

• Non-ECC (64-bit).

• 128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 1GB modules.

When adding memory, follow these guidelines:

a. The BIOS detects the size and type of installed memory.

Note: DDR2 SDRAM’s must meet the JEDEC Solid State Technology Association

specifications for DDR2 400/533/667 SDRAM. http://www.jedec.org/

To install DIMMs, follow these steps:

1. Observe the precautions in “Upgrading and ESD precautions”. Turn off the

computer and all peripheral devices.

2. Remove the computer cover and locate the DIMM sockets.

3. Holding the DIMM by the edges, remove it from its antistatic package.

4. Make sure the clips at either end of the socket are pushed away from the socket.

5. Position the DIMM above the socket. Align the two small notches in the bottom

edge of the DIMM with the keys in the socket. Insert the bottom edge of the

DIMM into the socket.

6. When the DIMM is seated, push down on the top edge of the DIMM until the

retaining clips at the ends of the socket snap into place. Make sure the clips are

firmly in place.

7. Replace the computer cover.
