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 one 200-pin DDR2 SO-DIMM socket that supports up to 2 GB
of system memory. To install system memory on the Desktop Board, see Figure 6 and
follow these steps:
1. Observe the
precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 27.
2. In
stall the SO-DIMM in the socket. Hold the DIMM with the back edge tilted
slightly upwards, insert the SO-DIMM into the socket, and gently push the back
edge of the SO-DIMM down until it snaps into the retention arms.
