Installing memory
Your computer has two connectors for installing dual inline memory modules
(DIMMs) that provide up to a maximum of 1 GB of system memory.
When installing memory, the following rules apply:
v Use 2.5 V, 184-pin, double data rate synchronous dynamic random access
memory (DDR SDRAM), non-ECC DIMMs.
v Use 128 MB, 256 MB, or 512 MB, DIMMs in any combination.
Note: Only DDR SDRAM DIMMs can be used.
To install DIMMs:
1. Access the system board. See “Accessing system board components and drives”
on page 11.
2. Locate the DIMM connectors. See “Identifying parts on the system board” on
page 12.
3. Open the retaining clips.
4. Make sure the notch in the DIMM aligns with the tab on the connector. Push or
insert the memory module straight down into the connector until the retaining
clips close.
5. Replace the PCI riser and adapters if it was removed.
6. Slide the CD and diskette drive tray back into position and reconnect any
cables that were disconnected. Insert the holding screw.
7. Replace the cover. See “Replacing the cover and connecting the cables” on
page 19.
