Installing & Removing Dual In-line Memory Modules
Installing Memory
You can install from 128MB to 4GB of memory in the motherboard DIMM sockets.
The motherboard has four DIMM sockets. The motherboard supports the following
memory features:
• 184-pin 2.5 V DIMMs with gold-plated contacts.
• Non-ECC (64-bit) or ECC (72-bit) memory.
• 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 1GB modules.
When adding memory, follow these guidelines:
• The BIOS detects the size and type of installed memory.
•
For ECC operation to become available all installed memory must be ECC
and you must enable the ECC Configuration feature in the BIOS Setup
program.
Note: DDR SDRAM must meet the Version 1.0 June 2000 JEDEC Solid State
Technology Association specifications for DDR266 SDRAM.
To install DIMMs, follow these steps:
1. Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin". Turn off the computer and all
Peripheral devices.
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.
5. Position the DIMM above the socket. Align the two small notches in the bottom
edge of the DIMM with the keys in the socket. Insert the bottom edge of the
DIMM into the socket.
6. When the DIMM is seated, push down on the top edge of the DIMM until the
retaining clips at the ends of the socket snap into place. Make sure the clips are
firmly in place.
7. Replace the computer cover.
8. If you installed a DIMM with ECC memory, start the computer and use the ECC
Configuration feature in Setup to enable the use of ECC.
