DDR Module Combination

To enable normal operation, at least one DIMM module should be in-
stalled on the motherboard. As Intel
banks at its maximum, the system memory installed can be up to 2GB.
All three slots can be single-sidedly or double-sidedly installed with 184-
pin DDR DIMM modules. Please especially note that DDR 1 alone occupies
two memory banks; the rest two banks are shared by DDR 2 & DDR 3. You may
install memory modules in the following combination:
Slot
DDR 1
DDR 2
DDR 3
Total Memory
S (Single Side): 64MB ~ 512MB

Installing DDR Modules

1. The DDR DIMM has only one notch on the center of module. The module
will only fit in the right orientation.
2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then
push it in.
3. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.
