DDR2 Memory Overview
Dual-channel DDR2 memory modules should be installed in pairs of matched memory size. If the
DDR2 memory modules are not installed with the same amount of memory in each channel, the
computer will continue to operate, but with a slight reduction in performance. See the label in the
upper-right corner of the module to determine the module's capacity.
NOTE:
Always install DDR2 memory modules in the order indicated on the system board.
The recommended memory configurations are:
•
A pair of matched memory modules installed in connectors DIMM1 and DIMM2
or
•
A memory module installed in connector DIMM1
or
•
For the mini tower, desktop, and small form factor computers, a pair of matched memory
modules installed in connectors DIMM1 and DIMM2 and another matched pair installed in
connectors DIMM3 and DIMM4
NOTICE:
Do not install ECC memory modules. Doing so may cause the system not to boot or affect
performance.
