Memory The computer comes with double data rate 2 synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDR2SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). CAUTION: DDR and DDR2 memory modules are not interchangeable. DDR2-SDRAM DIMMs The memory sockets on the system board can be populated with up to two industry-standard DIMMs. These memory sockets are populated with at least one preinstalled DIMM. To achieve the maximum memory support, you can populate the system board with up to 2 GB (2 x 1GB) of memory configured in a highperforming dual channel mode. For proper system operation, the DDR2-SDRAM DIMMs must be: ● industry-standard 240-pin ● unbuffered PC2-5300 667 MHz-compliant ● 1.8 volt DDR2-SDRAM DIMMs The DDR2-SDRAM DIMMs must also: ● support CAS latency 4 for PC2-5300 667 MHz ● contain the mandatory JEDEC SPD information In addition, the computer supports: ● 256Mbit, 512Mbit, and 1Gbit non-ECC memory technologies ● single-sided and double-sided DIMMs ● DIMMs constructed with x8 and x16 DDR devices; DIMMs constructed with x4 SDRAM are not supported NOTE: The system will not start if you install unsupported DIMMs. Installing Memory Modules CAUTION: The memory module sockets have gold metal contacts. When upgrading the memory, it is important to use memory modules with gold metal contacts to prevent corrosion and/ or oxidation resulting from having incompatible metals in contact with each other. CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer or optional cards. Before beginning these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal object. 42 Chapter 7 Removal and Replacement Procedures- Microtower (MT) Chassis ENWW
