1.7.1 DIMM sockets location

The following figure illustrates the location of the DDR DIMM sockets.

1.7.2 Memory configurations

You may install 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, and 1GB DDR DIMMs into the
DIMM sockets using the memory configurations in this section.

Important notes

Make sure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or
other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to
both the motherboard and the components.

When installing long AGP cards, it is recommended to install the memory
modules first. Long AGP cards, when installed, may interfere with the
memory sockets.

Installing DDR DIMMs other than the recommended configurations may
cause memory sizing error or system boot failure.

For optimum compatibility, obtain memory modules from qualified vendors.
See Qualified Vendors List on page 1-11.

Stacked RAM and DDR DIMM modules with more than 18 chips are not
supported.

Always install DIMMs with the same CAS Latency. For optimum
compatibility, obtain memory modules from the same vendors.
