User’s Manual 1.4 System Memory 1.4.1 DIMM Sockets Location The motherboard comes with four 240-pin Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets. A DDR2 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR DIMM but has a 240-pin footprint compared to the 184-pin DDR DIMM. DDR2 DIMMs are notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR DIMM socket.
VCN700-LIC10/15 1.4.2 Installing a DDR2 DIMM Make sure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both the motherboard and the components. 1. Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outward 2. 3. Align a DIMM on the socket such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break on the socket. Firmly insert the DIMM into the socket until the retaining clips snap back in place and the DIMM.
User’s Manual 1.5 Expansion Slots In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The following sub‑sections describe the slots and the expansion cards that they support. Make sure to unplug the power cord before adding or removing expansion cards. Failure to do so may cause you physical injury and damage motherboard components. 1.5.1 Installing an Expansion Card 1. Before installing the expansion card, read the documentation that came with it and make the necessary hardware settings for the card.
VCN700-LIC10/15 1.6 Jumpers 1.6.1 Clear CMOS (CLRTC) This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS.
