Upgrading the system memory

This section includes instructions for removing and installing a
memory module.
Altos G710 supports DDR2 400 Registered ECC memory modules. DDR2
400 memory is a new type of memory module providing better
performance using less power, at 1.8 volts, than conventional DDR1
memory. DDR2 400 memory modules have 240-pin DIMM modules and
are not backward-compatible with DDR1.
The Altos G710 provides eight DDR2 DIMM slots in dual memory
channels. DIMM 1A, 2A, 3A and 4A are connected to memory channel
A. DIMM 1B, 2B, 3B, and 4B are connected to memory channel B. The
maximum memory capacity is 16 GB DDR2 400 memory. Memory DIMM
technologies supports 512 MB, 1 GB or 2 GB memory modules.
Note: You should always install the DDR2 memory module in the
DDR2 DIMM slots. Wrong installation may cause damage to the
mainboard. Contact your dealer for qualified DDR2 DIMM
vendors.
