Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage your system board, proces-
sor, disk drives, add-in boards, and other components. Perform the
upgrade instruction procedures described at an ESD workstation only.
If such a station is not available, you can provide some ESD
protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap and attaching it to a
metal part of the system chassis. If a wrist strap is unavailable,
establish and maintain contact with the system chassis throughout
any procedures requiring ESD protection.

2.2 System Memory

The system board supports DDR SDRAM DIMM. Double Data
Rate SDRAM (DDR SDRAM) is a type of SDRAM that doubles the
data rate through reading and writing at both the rising and falling
edge of each clock. This effectively doubles the speed of operation
therefore doubling the speed of data transfer. Refer to chapter 1
(System Memory section) for detailed specification of the memory
supported by the system board.
Note:
If you are installing double rank DDR400 on both DDR 1 and
DDR 2 sockets, the maximum DRAM speed will automatically
be limited to the speed of a DDR333. However, the BIOS
provides the option of manually adjusting the speed to
DDR400 by selecting "200" in the "Max Memclock (Mhz)"
field (Advanced Chipset Features submenu) of the BIOS.
