Memory Configuration

You can install up to 768MB SDRAM of memory in the motherboard DIMM
sockets. The board has DIMM sockets arranged as banks 0, 1, and 2. You can
install DIMMs in any of the three banks, and use different size DIMMs in different
banks. The BIOS detects the size and type of installed memory.

To Install DIMMs

1. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the computer. Turn off the computer.
2. Remove the computer cover and locate the DIMM sockets.
3. Holding the DIMM by the edges, remove it from its antistatic package.
4. Make sure the clips at either end of the socket are pushed away from the
socket.

retaining clips at the ends of the socket snap into place. Make sure the
clips are firmly in place.
