2-2 Memory Installation

2-2.1 To Install DDR SDRAM Module

• Make sure to unplug your Power Supply before adding or removing
memory module. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both
your mainboard and the memory module.
• Pay attention to the orientation of the DIMM slots. Forcing a DIMM in
a socket improperly will damage the memory module and slot.
• Make sure you have the right type of memory module for your
mainboard.

2-2.2 Dual Channel Memory Features

• Dual Channel Memory Configuration is formed by couple of identical
DDR SDRAMs.
• Matched DIMMs need to have identical density, DRAM technology,
DRAM bus width, and equal number of memory banks.
• This Mainboard supports up to 2GB unbuffered Dual Channel DDR
400/333 SDRAM, with 2 DDR DIMM slots on board. Do not insert
other type of modules into these slots.
• The dual memory controller can double the DDR memory bandwidth
up to 6.4GB/s with DDR400, 5.4GB/s with DDR333.
