in the manner described in Step 2 below.
1.
Memory support:
The P3TDLR supports 128/256/512 MB and 1 GB registered ECC SDRAM
DIMMs. PC133 and PC100 memory are both supported at their respective
speeds.
However, the memory bus is synchronized to the front side bus
speed meaning you can not use PC100 with a 133 MHz FSB. Using
PC133 with a 100 MHz FSB will result in 100 MHz memory operation.
2.
Memory Slots:
The P3TDLR has four DIMM slots. There is no need to install the DIMM
modules in pairs.
position of the memory DIMMs in the DIMM slots.
3.
Installing memory modules:
Insert each DIMM module parallel to its slot's guide rails. Pay attention to
the orientation of the two notches along the bottom of the module to
prevent inserting a DIMM module incorrectly. Gently press down on the
DIMM module until it snaps into place in the slot (see Figure 5-4).
4.
Memory Position:
The capacity of the memory modules can be mixed; however, the
memory speeds should all be the same for best results.
