Chapter 3 Upgrading Your System

Installing and removing memory
modules
The three 168-pin sockets onboard support SDRAM-type DIMMs.
You may
install 64-MB, 128-MB, 256-MB, or 512-MB (single and double density) DIMMs
for a maximum of 1.5-GB system memory.
Note:
The SDRAM should work under 3.3 volts only; 5-volt memory devices
are not supported.
This system board supports 100 and 133 MHz SDRAM.
However, they cannot be
used at the same time in the system.
WARNING!
Do not use both 100 MHz and 133 MHz SDRAM together.
This might cause your system to malfunction. For a qualified DIMM
vendor
list, please contact your reseller.
Each of the DIMM sockets is independent of the others. This allows you to install
DIMMs with different capacities to form different configurations.
To install a DIMM, align it to an empty slot and press it in until the holding clips
secure the DIMM in place.
Note:
The DIMM socket is slotted to ensure proper installation.
If you slip in
a DIMM but it does not completely fit, you may have inserted it the wrong
way.
Reverse the orientation of the DIMM.
