Installing System Memory
NOTE
To be fully compliant with all applicable Intel SDRAM memory specifications, the board
requires SO-DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure.
The desktop board has two 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM sockets providing Channel A and
Channel B. For dual-channel performance, install a matched pair of SO-DIMMs equal
in speed and size.
To install an SO-DIMM, follow these steps:
1. Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 15.
2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the
computer. Turn off the computer
and disconnect the AC power cord.
3. Remove the computer’s cover and locate the DIMM sockets (see Figure 11).
4. Instal
l the bottom SO-DIMM (Figure 11, A) first. Hold the SO-DIMM with the back
edge t
ilted slightly upwards, insert it into the socket, aligning the notch in the SO-
DIMM with the tab (Figure 11, B) in the socket. Gently p
ush the back edge of the
SO-DIMM down until it snaps into the retention arms (Figure 11, C).
5. If
you are installing a second SO-DIMM, repeat Step 4 for the second SO-DIMM
(Figure 11, D).
6. Replace the computer’s cover and
reconnect the AC power cord.
