2-3 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 in a
socket improperly will damage the memory module and socket.
• Make sure you have the right type of memory module for your mainboard.
2-3.1 To Install DIMM Module
• This mainboard only supports SDRAM up to 3GB capacity
with 3 DIMM sockets on board. Do not insert other type of modules into
these sockets. EDO & FTP DRAM are not supported by this mainboard
either.
• DIMM has 168-pins and two notches. Insert a DIMM vertically into the
DIMM socket with each notch matching the one in the socket. Press the
DIMM down in a gradual way until it surely reaches the bottom and clicks
straight up the two latches on the left and right of the socket.
Key Point: Press the module down gradually until it has totally
reached the socket bottom and clicked up both two socket latches
completely. If any one of the latches has not turned up completely,
you should unplug the module and press it down the socket a bit
more firmly.
