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.
2.6.1
Memory configurations
