Install The Memory Modules - ECS P6BAP-Me User Manual

Install the Memory Modules

For this mainboard, you must use 168-pin 3.3V non-buffered Dual In-line
Memory Modules (DIMMs). The memory chips must be standard or
registered SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory).
The memory bus can run at 66 MHz or 100 MHz. If your processor
operates over a 100 MHz system bus, you must install PC-100 memory
that also operates over a 100 MHz bus. If you install a processor that
operates over a 66 MHz bus, you can install memory chips that operate
at 66 MHz.
You must install at least one memory module. You can install the module
in any one of the three DIMM slots. Each module may be installed with
up to 256 MB of memory so the maximum capacity is 768 MB. The
mainboard supports memory chips that have EC (Error Correction) or
ECC (Error Correction Code).
1. Locate the DIMM slots on the mainboard.
Locking latches
2. The DIMM slots are keyed with notches and the DIMMs are keyed
with cut-outs so that they can only be installed correctly. Check that
the cut-outs on the module edge connector match the notches in the
slot.
3. Push the latches on each side of the DIMM slot down.
