Onboard Processor
The Intel Atom processor is soldered directly onto the motherboard. Installing and
removing the processor is not required. A small active heatsink (with fan) sits on
the processor to keep it cool.
5-6 Installing Memory
Note: Check the Supermicro web site for recommended memory modules.
Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM
DIMM Installation
1.
Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with
DIMM1A. Insert each DIMM vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the notch
along the bottom of the module to prevent incorrect installation.
2.
Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the slot.
Repeat step 1 to install DIMM1B if needed. See diagrams on the following
page.
Memory Support
The X7SLA-L/X7SLA-H supports up to 2GB Unbuffered Non-ECC DDR2 533/400
in two DIMM slots. Populating these DIMM modules with a pair of memory mod-
ules of the same type and same size will result in interleaved memory, which will
improve memory performance.
