Chapter 1: Product introduction

1.7 System memory

1.7.1 DIMM sockets location

The following figure illustrates the location of the DDR DIMM sockets.

1. It is recommended to use the blue DIMM slots first.

2. Make sure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or

other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to

both the motherboard and the components.

3. When installing long AGP cards, it is recommended to install the memory

modules first. Long AGP cards, when installed, may interfere with the

memory sockets.

1.7.2 Memory configurations

You may install 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, and 1GB DDR DIMMs into the

DIMM sockets using the memory configurations in this section.

Important notes

1. Installing DDR DIMMs other than the recommended configurations may

cause memory sizing error or system boot failure. Use any of the

recommended configurations in Table 1.

2. In dual-channel configurations, always install an identical (the same type

and size) DDR DIMM pair on sockets of the same color.

3. Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum

compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the

same vendor.
