Installing Memory DIMMs
Your new motherboard has four 1.8V 240-pin slots for DDR2 memory. These slots support 256 MB,
512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB DDR2 memory modules. They also support dual channel DDR2 memory
technology up to 10.7GB/s. There must be at least one memory bank populated to ensure normal
operation. Use the following recommendations for installing memory. (See Figure 1 on page 4
for the location of the memory slots.)
One DIMM: Install into slot 0. You can install the DIMM into any slot, however, slot 0 is pre-
ferred.
Two DIMMs: Install into either slots 0 and 1 or 2 and 3. The idea is to not have the DIMMs in ad-
jacent slots.
Four DIMMS: Install into slots 0, 1, 2, and 3.
Use the following procedure to install memory DIMMs. Note that there is only one gap near the
center of the DIMM slot. This slot matches the slot on the memory DIMM to ensure the component
is installed properly.
1. Unlock a DIMM slot by pressing the module clips outward.
2. Align the memory module to the DIMM slot, and insert the module vertically into the DIMM
slot. The plastic clips at both sides of the DIMM slot automatically lock the DIMM into the
connector.
