Memory Module Installation and Removal

When you install or replace the module, pay attention to the following:

The MITX-430/MITX-440-DVI-2E supports single channel DDR2 667MHz, two SO-DIMM
slots.

The SO-DIMMs must have the same sizes, frequencies, types and technologies, physical
designs, and manufacturers.

SO-DIMMs must be of single or dual rank type. Quad rank type modules are not
supported.

Installing Memory Module

1. Wear the ESD-preventive wrist strap.

2. Lay the MITX-430/MITX-440-DVI-2E, where the SO-DIMM is to be installed on the

antistatic desktop.

3. Take the SO-DIMM out of the antistatic package, holding it by the edges.

4. Line up the notch located on the row of the metal pins at the bottom of the module with

the key in the SO-DIMM slot on the motherboard.

5. Insert the SO-DIMM in a slantwise position or at a 45

o

angle to slide the module into place.

6. Press down on the module against the motherboard until you hear it snap into place. The

modules must be properly aligned before you press it down into its final position. Remove
the module from the socket and reinstall it if you cannot press it down into its final
position.

Pin Damage

Forcing the module into the system may damage connector pins. If the module hangs
during insertion, pull it out and insert it again.
