Removing and Installing Parts
Memory Installation Guidelines
• DIMM connectors must be populated in numerical order beginning with
connectors DIMM_1 and DIMM_3, then connectors DIMM_2 and
DIMM_4.
If a single DIMM is installed, you must install it in connector DIMM_1.
• For best performance, memory modules should be installed in pairs of
matched memory size, speed, and technology. If the memory modules are not
installed in matched pairs, the computer will operate, but with a slight
reduction in performance. (See the label on the module to determine the
module’s capacity.) For example, if you install a mixed pair of DDR2
533-MHz and DDR2 667-MHz and 800 MHz memory, the modules
function at the slowest speed installed.
1 Pair A: matched pair of
memory modules in
connectors DIMM_1 and
DIMM_2 2 Pair B: matched pair of
memory modules in
connectors DIMM_3 and
DIMM_4
