Install the Memory Modules
For this mainboard, you must use 168-pin 3.3V non-buffered Dual In-line Memory
Modules (DIMMs). The memory chips must be SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic
Random Access Memory). The memory bus can run from 66 MHz through to 100 MHz
so you can either use inexpensive 66 MHz memory, or higher performance PC-100
memory. You can use memory modules that have a capacity of 16 MB up to 512 MB.
Total installed memory can be up to 1.5 GB.
You must install at least one memory module and the first memory module should be
installed in slot DIMM1, the second in slot DIMM2 and the third in slot DIMM3. You
can use memory modules which have memory chips on just one side (single-sided) or
memory chips on both sides (double-sided).
1. Locate the DIMM slots on the mainboard.

2. The DIMM slots are keyed with notches and the DIMMs are keyed with cut-outs so
that they can only be installed correctly. Check that the cut-outs on the DIMM
module edge connector match the notches in the DIMM slot.
3. Push the latches on each side of the DIMM slot down.
4. Install the DIMM module into the slot and press it carefully but firmly down so that
it seats correctly. The latches at either side of the slot will be levered upwards and
latch on to the edges of the DIMM when it is installed correctly.
