Ddr2 Memory Slots - Abit IB9 User Manual

1.7.2 DDR2 Memory Slots

•
To reach the optimum performance in dual-channel configurations, install identical DDR2
DIMM pairs for each channel.
•
Install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. To reach the optimum compatibility, obtain
memory modules from the same vendor.
※
Usually there is no hardware or BIOS setup required after adding or removing
memory modules, but you will have to clear the CMOS memory first if any
memory module related problem occurs.
To install system memory:
1. Power off the computer and unplug the
AC power cord before installing or
removing memory modules.
2. Locate the DIMM slot on the board.
3. Hold two edges of the DIMM module
carefully, keep away from touching its
connectors.
4. Align the notch key on the module with
the rib on the slot.
5. Firmly press the module into the slots until the ejector tabs at both sides of the slot
automatically snap into the mounting notch. Do not force the DIMM module in with extra
force as the DIMM module only fits in one direction.
6. To remove the DIMM modules, push the two ejector tabs on the slot outward
simultaneously, and then pull out the DIMM module.
※
Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer or
optional boards. Before starting these procedures, ensure that you are
discharged of static electricity by touching a grounded metal object briefly.
