Installing Memory Modules
Your system supports PC2700 DDR-SDRAM memory modules. The
DDR-DIMM memory modules can be single- or double-sided and
installed in either socket.
1
Choose the size of the memory module and configuration as shown
in the following table. Memory modules can vary in size and speed
between sockets. The minimum memory size is 128 MB. The
maximum memory size is 1.0 GB. The BIOS automatically detects the
type, size and speed of the memory modules.
2
If necessary, remove the memory module you wish to replace (see
“Removing a Memory Module”
on page 36).
3
Remove the new memory module(s) from its anti-static package.
Hold the memory module only by its edges to prevent
static-electricity damage.
4
Remove the side panel (see
“Removing the Side Panel”
on page 24).
5
Remove the power supply (see
“Removing the Power Supply
