Installing Memory Modules - ECS K7VTA3 Manual

Installing Memory Modules

This motherboard accommodates two 184-pin 2.5V unbuffered Double Data
Rate (DDR) SDRAM memory modules. It can support DDR200/DDR266/
DDR333/DDR400 memory modules and allow up to 3.2 GB/s data transfer
rate.
You must install at least one module in any of the two slots. Each module can
be installed with 32 MB to 1 GB of memory; total memory capacity is 2GB.
Do not remove any memory module from its antistatic packaging until
you are ready to install it on the mainboard. Handle the modules only by
their edges. Do not touch the components or metal parts. Always wear
a grounding strap when you handle the modules.
Installation Procedure
Refer to the following to install the memory modules.
1. This mainboard supports unbuffered DDR SDRAM only. Do not attempt to
insert any other type of DDR SDRAM into the slots.
2. Push the latches on each side of the DIMM slot down.
3. Align the memory module with the slot. The DIMM slots are keyed with
notches and the DIMMs are keyed with cutouts so that they can only be
installed correctly.
4. Check that the cutouts on the DIMM module edge connector match the
notches in the DIMM slot.
5. Install the DIMM module into the slot and press it firmly down until it seats
correctly. The slot latches are levered upwards and latch on to the edges
of the DIMM.
6. Install any remaining DIMM modules.
