The motherboard has two Double Data Rate (DDR) DIMM sockets that supports
up to 2GB non-ECC PC3200/2700/2100/1600 DDR Synchronous Dynamic
Random Access Memorry (SDRAM) DIMMs. Each DIMM socket/module is two-
sided. DIMMs come in combinations of single or double-sided types ranging

1.9.1 Installing a DIMM
1. Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing
the retaining clips outward.
2. Align a DIMM on the socket. Make
sure the notches on the DIMM
exactly match the notches in the
socket.
3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the
socket until the retaining clips lock
into place.
A DDR DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one direction.
DO NOT force a DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging the DIMM.
