Installing and Removing Memory
NOTE
To be fully compliant with all applicable Intel SDRAM memory specifications, the
boards require DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure.
The Desktop Board has two 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM sockets that support up to 4 GB
of system memory. To install system memory on the Desktop Board, see Figure 7 and
follow these steps:
1. Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 23.
2. Install the fi
rst DI
MM (Figure 7, A) in the bottom (DIMM 0) socket. Align the notch
in the DIM
M with the key in the socket (Figure 7, B), while holding the DIMM with
the back edge t
ilted slightly upwards, insert it in the socket, and gently push the
back edge down until it snaps into the retention arms (Figure 7, C).
3. If
you are in
stalling a second DIMM, repeat Step 2 using the top (DIMM 1) socket
(Figure 7, D).
Figure 7. Installing System Memory
To remove an SO-DIMM from a socket, gently spread the socket’s retention arms
(Figure 7, C) to disengage them from the SO-DIMM.
