Hardware Setup
Installing Memory Modules
1. The memory module has only one notch on the center and will only fit in the right
orientation.
2. Insert the memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it in until the
golden finger on the memory module is deeply inserted in the DIMM slot.
3. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.
Important
You can barely see the golden finger if the memory module is properly inserted
in the DIMM slot.
Important
-DDR2 memory modules are not interchangeable with DDR and the DDR2
standard is not backwards compatible. You should always install DDR2
memory modules in the DDR2 DIMM slots.
-In Dual-Channel mode, make sure that you install memory modules of the
same type and density in different channel DIMM slots.
-To enable successful system boot-up, always insert the memory modules
into the DIMM1 first.
- Due to the chipset resource deployment, the system density will only be
detected up to 7+GB (not full 8GB) when each DIMM is installed with a 2GB
memory module.
