Chapter 2: Motherboard Installation
Memory Module Installation Procedure
These modules can be installed with up to 16* GB system memory. Refer to the
following to install the memory module.
1. Push down the latches on both sides of the DIMM socket.
2. Align the memory module with the socket. There is a notch on the DIMM
socket that you can install the DIMM module in the correct direction.
Match the cutout on the DIMM module with the notch on the DIMM
socket.
3. Install the DIMM module into the socket and press it firmly down until it
is seated correctly. The socket latches are levered upwards and latch on to
the edges of the DIMM.
4. Install any remaining DIMM modules.
Over its predecessor, DDR2-SDRAM offers greater bandwidth and density in a
smaller package along with a reduction in power consumption. In addition, DDR2-
SDRAM offers new features and functions that enable a higher clock rate and data
rate operations of 800/667/533/400 MHz. DDR2 transfers 64 bits of data twice
every clock cycle.
Installing Memory Modules
This motherboard accommodates two 240-pin DIMM sockets (Dual Channel
Memory Module) for unbuffered DDR2 800/667/533/400 memory modules (Double
Data Rate SDRAM), and maximum 16* GB installed memory.
