Replacingoraddingmemory
The Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) Dual Inline
Memory Modules (DIMMs) supported by your system board conform to the
following standards:
64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB, and 512 MB ECC DIMMs.
PC133-compliant, registered, parity, ECC SDRAM.
Memory is installed in four banks (slots) on the system board. When you are
selecting and installing DIMMs, keep the following in mind:
Registered DIMMs should not be combined with unbuffered DIMMs.
Memory must be installed in reverse order, from right to left (from
bank 3, through bank 0).
No jumper settings are required for the memory size or type because the
BIOS automatically detects this information.
2 GB maximum system memory.
To replace DIMMs:
1 Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord, modem cord (if
installed), and all external peripheral devices.
2 Observe all safety and static electricity precautions. (See Preventing static
electricity discharge on page 22.)
3 Remove the bezel. (See Removing the bezel on page 25.)
4 Remove the left side cover panel. (See Removing the side cover panel
on page 26.)
