Adding Memory

The six memory module sockets on the system board can accommodate 128 MB to 4 GB of registered SDRAM. The memory module sockets are arranged in pairs
which consist of three banks (Bank 1– Bank 3). These banks are located near the back edge of the system board (see Figure 6-1), next to the cooling fan assembly.

Memory Upgrade Kits

The system is upgradable to 4 GB by installing combinations of 64-,128- 256-, 512-MB, and 1 GB registered memory modules. If you receive an error message
stating that maximum memory has been exceeded, see
as needed.
NOTE: The memory modules must be PC-133 compliant.

Memory Module Installation Guidelines
