- 14 - GA-7VKML Series Motherboard
English
1. The DIMM slot has a notch, so the DIMM
memory module can only fit in one direction.
2. Insert the DIMM memory module verticallyinto the
DIMM slot. Then push it down.
3. Close the plastic clip at both edges of theDIMM slots
to lock the DIMM module.
Reverse the installation steps when you wish to
remove the DIMM module.

M When RAM_LED is ON, do not install/remove DDR from socket.
M Please note that the DIMM module can only fit in one direction due to the two
notches. Wrong orientation will cause improper installation. Please change
the insert orientation.
DDR Introduction
Established on the existing SDRAM industry infrastructure, DDR (Double Data Rate) memory
is a high performance and cost-effectiv e solution that allows easy adoption for memory v endors,
OEMs and system integrators.
DDR memory is a sensible evolutionary solution for the PC industry that builds on the existing
SDRAM infrastructure, yet makes awesome advances in solving the system performance bottle-
neck by doubling the memory bandwidth. DDR SDRA M will offer a superior solution and migration
path from existing SDRAM designs due to its availability, pricing and overall market support. PC2100
DDR memory (DDR266) doubles the data rate through reading and writing at both the rising and
falling edge of the clock, achiev ing data bandwidth 2X greater than PC133 when running with the
same DRAM clock frequency. With peak bandwidth of 2.1GB per second, DDR memory enables
system OEM s to build high performance and low latency DRAM subsystems that are suitable for
servers, w orkstations, high-end PC's and value desktop SMA systems. With a core voltage of only
2.5 Volts compared to conventional SDRAM's 3.3 volts, DDR memory is a compelling solution for
small form factor desktops and notebook applications.
