• The system does not support combination of single-channel with
dual-channel memory.
• Use only DDR2 DIMMs. Other DIMMs will not fit into the socket.

DIMMs.
Installing DIMMs
Caution! Use extreme care when installing a DIMM. Applying too
much pressure can damage the connector. DIMMs are keyed and
can be inserted in only one way.
Note: DIMM slots on the memory module must be installed only
in certain configurations. Numbers next to DIMM slots correspond
to installation sequence. DIMMs must be installed in pairs.
