2-2 Memory Installation

How to tackle the memory Modules:
• 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
into a slot improperly will damage the memory module and slot itself.
• Make sure you have the right type of memory module for your
mainboard.

out guarantee of success in BIOS Setup.
*DDR 400 Module is supported on condition that the module has passed
Soltek DDR 400 Memory Module Validation Test. Soltek Computer
Inc. typically runs a DDR 400 Memory Module Validation Program
for Chipset VIA KT400/P4X400A. Detailed information is available in
