Install The Memory Modules - ECS P6VAP-Me Manual

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 standard or
registered SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory).
The memory bus can run at 100 MHz or 133 MHz. If your processor
operates over a 133 MHz system bus, you must install PC-133 memory
that also operates over a 133 MHz bus. If your processor operates over
a 100 MHz system bus, you must install PC-100 memory that also
operates over a 100 MHz bus.
You must install at least one memory module. You can install the module
in any one of the two DIMM slots. Each module may be installed with up
to 512 MB of memory so the maximum capacity is 1 GB. The mainboard
supports memory chips that have EC (Error Correction) or ECC (Error
Correction Code).
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 module edge connector match the notches in the
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.
