Installing system memory

The motherboard has six Dual Inline
Memory Module (DIMM) sockets
that support up to 12GB system
memory using registered ECC
PC2100/PC1600 DDR DIMMs.

DIMM sockets location

Install a DIMM

1. Unlock a DIMM socket by

pressing the retaining clips
outward.

2. Align a DIMM on the socket

such that the notch on the
DIMM matches the break on
the socket.

3. Firmly insert the DIMM into the

socket until the retaining clips
snap back in place and the
DIMM is properly seated.

Remove a DIMM

1. Simultaneously press the

retaining clips outward to
unlock the DIMM.

2. Remove the DIMM from the

socket.

A DDR DIMM is keyed with a notch so it fits in only one direction.
DO NOT force a DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging the DIMM.
