Installing DIMMs

Before installing DIMMs, read and follow these guidelines for dual channel configuration.

NOTE

Performance Acceleration Technology (PAT) requires a processor with 800 MHz FSB frequency and DDR400 memory.

Install a matched pair of DIMMs equal in speed, size, and technology (see Figure 8) in DIMM 0 in both channels A and B.

Channel A

256 MB, 128 Mb, DDR400

Channel B

256 MB, 128 Mb, DDR400
