Installing a DIMM

The system motherboard comes with two Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline

Memory Module (DIMM) sockets.
The following figure illustrates the location of the sockets:

• Installing DDR2 DIMMS other than the recommended configurations

may cause memory sizing error or system boot failure. Use any of the

recommended configurations in the table on the next page.

• Install only identical (the same type and size) DDR2 DIMMs in DIMM_A1

and DIMM_B1.

• Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum

compatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory modules from the

same vendor.

• Due to chipset resource allocation, the system may detect less than 2 GB

system memory when you installed two 1 GB DDR2 memory.

• This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of 128 Mb

chips or double-sided x16 memory modules.
