INSTALLATIONS

Installing the Memory

The MB879 board supports one DDR2 memory socket for a maximum total memory of 1GB in DDR2 memory type.

Installing and Removing Memory Modules

To install the DDR2 modules, locate the memory slot on the board and perform the following steps:

1.Hold the DDR2 module so that the key of the DDR2 module align with those on the memory slot.

2.Gently push the DDR2 module in an upright position until the clips of the slot close to hold the DDR2 module in place when the DDR2 module touches the bottom of the slot.

3.To remove the DDR2 module, press the clips with both hands.
