Installation Procedure

Refer to the following to install the memory modules.

1This motherboard supports unbuffered DDR2 SDRAM only.

2Push the latches on each side of the DIMM slot down.

3Align the memory module with the slot. The DIMM slots are keyed with notches and the DIMMs are keyed with cutouts so that they can only be installed correctly.

4Check that the cutouts on the DIMM module edge connector match the notches in the DIMM slot.

5Install the DIMM module into the slot and press it firmly down until it seats correctly. The slot latches are levered upwards and latch on to the edges of the DIMM.
