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 mod-
ules 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.
