2- 2 MEMORY INSTALLATION
WARING !!!
• Make sure that you unplug your power supply when adding or removing
memory modules or other system components, failure to do so may cause
severe damage to both your mainboard and expansion cards.
• Be careful when inserting or removing DIMM, forcing a DIMM in or out of
a socket can be damaged the memory module or the socket. Some of DIMMs
contain EDO or FTP DRAM that accept only 5V power. These DIMM types
are incompliant with the mainboard, the M/B only supports 3.3V true
SDRAM DIMMs.
Installing DIMM
• Make sure you have the correct memory module type for your mainboard.
• Insert the module(s) as shown below, DIMMs have 168-pins and two notches
that will be matched by the onboard DIMM socket. Memory modules are
installed by inserting them straight into the slot until they "click" in the right
place. They only fit in one direction, so do not force them in by a wrong
direction.
