Installing and Removing Memory

CAUTION
To be fully compliant with all applicable Intel SDRAM memory specification addendums, the
board requires DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure. You can
access the PC Serial Presence Detect Specification at:
http://www.intel.com/technology/memory/pcsdram/spec/
✏
NOTE
Remove the card in the AGP connector before installing or upgrading memory to avoid
interference with the memory retention mechanism.
The desktop board has two DIMM sockets arranged as DIMM 0 and DIMM 1, as shown in
Figure 7. If installing a single DIMM, install it in DIMM 0.
Refer to the Main Memory heading on page 14 for memory requirements.

1. Observe the precautions in "Before You Begin" on page 21.
2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the computer. Turn off the computer and
disconnect the AC power cord.
3. Remove the computer's cover and locate the DIMM sockets (see Figure 7).
